[The prognostic value of the new pTNM classification and staging of kidney cancers].
In comparison with the former pTNM classification of renal cell carcinoma, the 1987 edition is characterized by a simplification of the classification by inclusion of venous invasion (former separate V classification) into pT and an advantage in estimating prognosis by the new pN classification. The new defined stages are well correlated with survival. On the basis of the presented survival data the criticism of the new TNM/pTNM by the EORTC-GU group can be rejected.
