Overview

Renal cell carcinoma may be classified according to histologic appearance of the tumor into 6 subtypes: conventional (clear cell), papillary, chromophobe, oncocytoma, collecting duct, and unclassified.

Classification

The following table classifies renal cell carcinoma according to histologic appearance and differentiates sporadic from hereditary forms of renal cell carcinoma. Clear type (also called Conventional type) renal cell carcinoma is considered the most common type of renal carcinoma. The most common classification of renal cell carcinoma is based on the histopathological appearance of the tumor. There are currently six subtypes of renal cell carcinoma, most common of which are the conventional (also called clear cell) renal carcinoma, accounting for approximately 75% of all cases.^[1] Renal cell carcinoma may also be clinically classified based on the staging of the tumor, as shown below.

Histologic Appearance

The following table summarizes the incidence of various histological types of renal tumors:

**Heidelberg Classification Renal Cell Carcinoma According to Histological Appearance (1997)^[1]^[2]**
Histologic Appearance	Incidence (%)
Conventional (Clear Cell)	75
Papillary	12
Chromophobe	4
Oncocytoma	4
Collecting Duct	< 1
Unclassified	3 - 5

^{Adapted from Cohen HT, McGovern FJ. Renal-cell carcinoma.N Engl J Med. 2005; 353:2477-90}

More than 70% of renal cell carcinomas are clear cell carcinomas. Papillary carcinomas are the second most common renal cell carcinomas. The least common types of renal cell carcinomas are collecting-duct renal cell carcinomas, accounting for less than 1% of all cases.^[1]

-Clear cell renal carcinomas can be classified according to staging or anatomic spread of the disease. Two commonly implemented systems are the Modified Robson's System (1969) and the TNM (Tumor - Nodes - Metastasis) System:
-====Robson's System====
-The Modified Robson's staging system has been proposed in 1969. It emphasizes the anatomic distribution of the tumor and proximity to important vasculature and lymph nodes with prognostic implications, reporting a 52% 5-year survival and a 66% 5-year survival in patients with localized tumor.<ref name="pmid5765875">{{cite journal| author=Robson CJ, Churchill BM, Anderson W| title=The results of radical nephrectomy for renal cell carcinoma. | journal=J Urol | year= 1969 | volume= 101 | issue= 3 | pages= 297-301 | pmid=5765875 | doi= | pmc= | url=http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=5765875  }} </ref>

-====TNM System====
-The TNM classification system for staging of clear cell renal carcinoma is commonly used. The following TNM classification is based on the American Joint Committee Cancer (AJCC), the American College of Radiology (ACR), and the Union for International Cancer Control (UICC).

-To note, proposals in December 2013 to amend the TNM staging of renal clear cell carcinoma have emerged following a 41.7 month follow-up of 122 patients with pT3a renal clear cell carcinoma.<ref name="pmid23816525">{{cite journal| author=Baccos A, Brunocilla E, Schiavina R, Borghesi M, Rocca GC, Chessa F et al.| title=Differing risk of cancer death among patients with pathologic t3a renal cell carcinoma: identification of risk categories according to fat infiltration and renal vein thrombosis. | journal=Clin Genitourin Cancer | year= 2013 | volume= 11 | issue= 4 | pages= 451-7 | pmid=23816525 | doi=10.1016/j.clgc.2013.05.006 | pmc= | url=http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=23816525  }} </ref> Baccos and colleagues concluded that fat and/or renal vein invasion are important prognostic factors that play a major role in patient survival and should be considered in the TNM staging. Patients with both fat invasion and renal vein thrombosis have worse survival rates than those with only one element.
