The accuracy of angiography in TNM classification and its significance in the assessment of prognosis was evaluated in a series of 178 consecutive renal angiograms performed on patients with renal adenocarcinoma. The overall accuracy in the T category was 74.2%. Angiography was reliable in the assessment of the renal vein but not reliable in nodal involvement. Radiographic signs associated with an unfavorable prognosis were an additional vascular supply from sources other than the lumbar artery, nonvisualization of the renal vein and a poorly defined tumor margin.
在对178例连续接受肾腺癌肾血管造影的患者进行的研究中，评估了血管造影在TNM分类中的准确性及其在预后评估中的意义。T分类的总体准确率为74.2%。血管造影在评估肾静脉方面可靠，但在评估淋巴结受累方面不可靠。与不良预后相关的影像学征象包括来自腰动脉以外来源的额外血管供应、肾静脉不显影和肿瘤边缘不清。
