Abstract
Purpose ― to analyze the incidence of the additional malignancies as a possible cause of decreased survival in patients with renal cell carcinoma (RCC).
Material and methods. We included 1 110 RCC patients who were initially diagnosed from 2013 to 2022. In this sample we identified the patients who had additional malignancies (other than RCC) diagnosed starting 6 months before the RCC diagnosis and to the end of the 2022.
Results. The most common primary malignancies in both gender were: colorectal cancer (relative risk [RR]=2,78 [95% confidence interval: 1,82-4,26]), prostate cancer (RR=4,23 [2,56-9,45]), lung cancer (RR=2,64 [1,46-4,76]), breast cancer (RR=1,91 [0,91-4,00]), and stomach cancer (RR=2,87 [1,44-5,74]). In men the most common primary malignancies which risk was significantly higher than in general population were: colorectal cancer (RR=3,38 [1,82-6,26]), prostate cancer (RR=4,03 [2,10-7,72]), lung cancer (RR=2,15 [1,12-4,12]), stomach cancer (RR=2,71 [1,21-6,02]), and melanoma (RR=5,02 [1,30-20,17]). In women such malignancies were the following: colorectal cancer (RR=5,05 [2,81-9,08]), breast cancer (RR=2,34 [1,12-4,90]), endometrial cancer (RR=3,59 [1,35-9,56]), thyroid gland cancer (RR=5,61 [1,40-22,46]) and skin cancer (non-melanomic) (RR=7,96 [1,98-31,98]).
Conclusion. The additional malignancies during the 6,7 (median) years of follow-up develop in 6,31% RCC patients, and this risk is higher than the one in the general population. This phenomenon makes the RCC patients to be the risk group for other malignancies.
