In this video, CancerBro will explain T staging of kidney cancer in detail.
Video Transcript:
Now lets discuss the T staging for kidney cancer.
It is called as T1 when the tumor is 7 cm or less in the greatest dimension and is limited to the kidney.
It is called as T2 when the tumor is greater than 7 cm in the greatest dimension and is limited to the kidney.
T3 includes cases in which the tumor extends to renal vein and its segmental branches, or renal sinus fat.
T3 also includes cases in which the tumor extends into the perirenal fat, but not beyond Gerota's Fascia, as you can see in this figure.
Extension of tumor into inferior vena cava is also T3. And when the tumor extends beyond the Gerota's Fascia, as you can see in the figure, it is called as T4. Infiltration of the adrenal gland is also T4.
Now, lets come to the N-staging or nodal staging of kidney cancer. Involvement of regional lymph nodes of kidney, as you can see in this figure, is called as N1.
And lastly, we come to the M-staging or the metastatic staging of kidney cancer. This figure shows multiple metastatic deposits in the liver. And here the cancer has spread to the lungs in form of multiple nodular deposits.
It may also spread to the peritoneum in the form of peritoneal deposits, as you can see in this figure.
Metastatic deposits in the adrenal gland without direct extention of tumor, may also be seen.
Sometimes, it may also spread to brain or bones.
So with this, we come to the end of TNM staging for renal cancer.
