ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the efficacy of post-operative radiotherapy and prognosis of renal cell carcinoma(RCC). Methods Between 1981 and 1998 , 90 s uch patients with disease limited to the kidney underwent nephrectomy at our ins titution. According to TNM classification(UICC,1997) the pathological stage was Ⅰin 27 patients(30%),Ⅱ in 18 (20%), Ⅲ in 35(38.9%), and Ⅳ in 10(11.1%).Post - operative irradiation, with a median dose of 50?Gy in 25 fractions over 5 weeks w as given to 52 patients in 3~5weeks after surgery, using AP-PA opposing portal s or oblique portals. Results The 5- and 10-year survival rates in the irradiate d patients(S+Rt) were 75% and 60%,respectively, but in the non-irradiated patien t s(S) 50% and 40%, respectively.This difference is statistically significant. 5- y ear survival rates by TNM stage in the two groups were as follows stageⅠS 67 %,S+Rt 100%;stageⅡ S 55%,S+Rt 71%;stageⅢ S 47%,S+Rt 65% (P=0 .010);stageⅣ S 0%, S+Rt 43%.Diseases recurred locally in a total of 12 patients 3 had tumo r b ed recurrence and 6 had regional lymph node recurrence and 3 had both. Local rec urrence in S was 29% and that of S+R was 2% (P=0.001). and local recurrence by T NM stageⅢ were 33% and 5%, respectively. One patient developed radiation-indu c ed small bowel obstruction which necessitated surgical intervention, but no pat i ent died from radiotherapy-induced complications. By multivariate analysis:
per f ormance status, symptomatic presentation, lymph node involvement, post-operativ e radiation and post-operative residual were all independent predictors of overa l l survival in the RCC patients. Conclusions In renal cell carcinoma, radiothera py is beneficial in reducing the locoregional recurrence. Radiotherapy has a sup prisingly positive effect on both local control and survival in TNM stage Ⅲ pat ients. Performance status, symptomatic presentation, lymph node involvement, pos t-operative radiation and post-operative residual are prognostic indicators of RCC. TNM staging is superior to Robson staging in predictive values .
