title: [Analysis of the quality of lifetime diagnosis of renal cancer].
abstract: The quality of the clinical and postmortem diagnosis of renal cancer was studied, by examining 510 cases of nephrectomies and resections of the kidney for its masses over 10 years. The clinical diagnosis of the stage of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) from the data available in the inpatients records cannot be considered qualitative in 76% of cases. Joint material cutting by a surgeon and a pathologist is the most important predictor that significantly affects the quality of lifetime clinical diagnosis of the TNM stage of renal cancer. The postmortem diagnosis of RCC can be recognized qualitative since the technique has been found to be highly sensitive and specific. However, the unavailability of data on tumor malignancy grade in two thirds of postmortem conclusions makes it impossible to tell about the impeccable quality of a study of renal carcinomas. The mean time needed to prepare a conclusion of the morphological study of surgical specimens was 5.8 days, which corresponded to the established standards, including for biopsy specimens.
