title: [Prognostic factors of renal cell carcinoma: a multivariate analysis].
abstract: In a series of 104 patients with renal cell carcinoma, a variety of clinical and histological factors were analyzed to establish their value as prognostic factors. In a univariate analysis (log-rank test), the presence or absence of symptoms, tumor size, pT, N, M, pV categories, TNM stage, Robson stage, nuclear grade and cell type were significantly associated with cause-specific survival, while age, sex and tumor side were not. In a multivariate analysis using Cox's proportional hazard model of 73 informative cases, only N (0 vs. 1-3) and M (0 vs. 1) categories of stage and nuclear grade (1-2 vs. 3) proved to be independent prognostic markers.
