Este documento discute o câncer renal, abordando:
1) O aumento da incidência devido ao envelhecimento da população e ao uso de métodos de imagem;
2) Fatores de risco como tabagismo, obesidade e hipertensão;
3) Diferentes subtipos histológicos com prognósticos distintos;
4) A nefrectomia radical como tratamento padrão.

Further work in this area led to a refinement in these variables and a scoring system where patients can be placed in to good, intermediate or poor risk categories.
This graph demonstrates the clinical usefulness of this scoring system and their relevance to prognosis.
Patients were ineligible if they had brain metastases, uncontrolled hypertension, or clinically significant cardiovascular events or disease during the preceding 12 months. All patients gave written informed consent. Randomization was stratified according to baseline levels of lactate dehydrogenase (>1.5 vs. ≤1.5 times the upper limit of the normal range), ECOG performance status (0 vs. 1), and previous nephrectomy (yes vs. no). Patients were randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to receive either sunitinib or interferon alfa. Random permuted blocks of four were used to attain balance within strata.
