Automatic computer estimation of histological Fuhrman grade in kidney cancerBartosz Swiderski
Background Chromophobe renal cell carcinoma (chRCC) has a favorable prognosis. Due to irregular nuclei and nuclear pleomorphism, chRCC has a high Fuhrman nuclear grade (FNG). The chromophobe tumor grade (CTG) is a novel three-tier grading system that has
Results show that the novel system was an independent prognostic factor for chromophobe RCC outcome.EBSCO_AspCurrent Medical Literature Kidney Cancer
The deficiency of this protein contributed in relaxed and/or collapsed structures of the kidney tubules and collecting duct noted in tumor tissues. Moreover, the reduction in GRIM-19 expression was associated with high tumor, lymph nodes and metastasis (TNM) stage and Fuhrman grade of ccRCC ...
between grading on biopsy and with surgical specimens was moderate, likely because of the reproducibility of the grading system, the accuracy of biopsy for differentiating high and low grade small renal tumors was high, which may greatly impact decision making in cases of small renal cancer.doi...
