- Tumor histology and immunohistochemical studies:
Cannot be assessed Uninvolved by tumor, closest soft tissue margin, specify distance (mm): Uninvolved by tumor, closest margin, specify distance and locations (mm): Involved by invasive carcinoma, specify margins:
- Not applicable Nephrogenic rests only
- Local Stage I: Tumor limited to kidney and completely resected No penetration of renal capsule No tumor involvement of extrarenal or renal sinus lymph-vascular spaces identifie No tumor metastasis to lymph nodes
- Local Stage II: Tumor extends beyond kidney but is completely resected Tumor extends through the renal capsule Tumor involvement of extrarenal or renal sinus lymph-vascular spaces present Tumor involves renal vein, but has not been transected and is not attached to vein wall at resection margin Tumor more than minimally involves the renal sinus soft tissue
- Local Stage III: Residual tumor is suspected Tumor present at margin(s) of resection Tumor rupture identified Tumor spill before or during surgery identified Piecemeal excision of tumor (removal of tumor in more than 1 piece) Metastatic tumor in regional lymph nodes identified History of renal tumor biopsy before definitive surgery
- Stage IV: Metastatic disease Hematogenous metastases or lymph node metastases outside the abdomino-pelvic region
- Stage V: Bilateral renal involvement at diagnosis Right kidney stage: Left kidney stage:
