Description
Summary:This study aimed to investigate the clinicopathological and radiological significance of the collateral vessel of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) on preoperative computed tomography (CT). Preoperative contrast-enhanced CT of 236 consecutive patients with pathological documented RCC were retrospectively reviewed during the period of 2014. The associations of the presence of collateral vessels with perioperative clinicopathological and radiological features, as well as long term survival outcomes were analyzed. Totally, collateral vessels were detected by contrast-enhanced CT in 110 of 236 patients. The presence of collateral vessels was significantly associated with higher pathologic T stage, higher Fuhrman grade, higher overall RENAL scores, greater tumor size and enhancement, and more tumor necrosis (all P
