We reviewed 74 patients with incidentally found renal cell carcinomas (20%) out of 366 patients treated in affiliated hospitals over the past 14 years. The annual rate of the incidentally found carcinomas has increased up to 40% of the total. CT scan and/or ultrasonotomography were used in the first diagnosis in 76% of these 74 patients. The prognosis for the incidental group was more favorable than that of the classical symptom group, since the former group consisted of patients with smaller-sized carcinomas which usually tend to be confined to the kidney.
在过去14年里,我们回顾了附属医院收治的366例患者,其中74例(20%)为偶然发现的肾细胞癌。偶然发现的癌症年发生率已增至总数的40%。在这74例患者中,76%的患者首次诊断时使用了CT扫描和/或超声检查。偶然发现组的预后比典型症状组更有利,因为前一组患者的癌肿较小,通常局限于肾脏。
