Abstract
Background: Renal cancer is among the top ten causes of death due to cancer world-wide in both, men and women. Surgical resection is the mainstay of treatment. However, Histopathological examination is the gold standard of diagnosis. It is imperative to study the types and subtypes of renal cancer leading to nephrectomy.
Method: A hospital-based cross-sectional study, observing demographic profile and clinical details of histopathological examination
Results: This study included 28 patients with age range from 1 year to 75 years. The peak age of incidence was the 4th decade. Incidence in males and females was equal. The maximum number of cases (50%) were diagnosed as renal cell carcinoma. Other histopathological diagnoses found were Wilms tumour, oncocytoma, cystic nephroma, and angiomyolipoma. Among Renal cell carcinomas (50%), the Clear cell variant was the most common, whereas Wilm’s tumor was the most common in the pediatric age group.
Conclusion: Regional study for types of renal cancer in a diverse geographical country like india helps plan diagnostic and treatment modalities with optimum allotment of resources.
Keywords: renal cancer, renal cell carcinoma, wilms tumor, nephrectomy.
