TL;DR: In patients with clear cell renal cell carcinoma 1997 TNM stage, tumor size, nuclear grade and histological tumor necrosis were significantly associated with cancer specific survival, and a scoring system based on these features can be used to predict outcome.

TL;DR: Estimating the population attributable risk (defined as the percentage of all cases of a disease in a population that can be "attributed" to a risk factor) for deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism associated with venous thromboembolism risk factors suggests greater emphasis should be placed on prophylaxis for hospitalized medical patients.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that there are significant differences in outcome and associations with outcome for the different histologic subtypes of RCC, highlighting the need for accurate subtyping.

TL;DR: As tumor size increased there was a significant increase in the odds of having a malignant compared to a benign tumor, clear cell compared to papillary RCC and high grade compared to low grade malignancy.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed a conditional logistic regression model appropriate to the matched case-control study design and then estimated attributable risk for the risk factors individually and collectively, together, the eight risk factors accounted for 74% of disease occurrence.
