Objectives: We aimed to investigate the predictive value of additional parameters for distinguishing benign-malign tumors and to prevent the loss of nephrons in small (≤4 cm) solid renal masses. Methods: The data of 56 patients underwent partial or radical nephrectomy between September 2009 and December 2017 due to diagnosis of localized renal cell carcinoma were retrospectively analyzed. Demographic datas, histopathological tumor types, neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR), monocyte/lymphocyte ratio (MLR), platelet/lymphocyte ratio (PLR), red blood cell distribution width (RDW), mean platelet volume (MPV), the Framingham risk score and its components, postoperative follow-up results were recorded. Patients were divided into two groups as benign and malign. Results: Among 56 patients with a median age of 60 (min: 35-max: 74) years, 13 patients had benign and 43 patients had malign pathologies. MLR (p=0.011), NLR (p=0.032), PLR (p=0.006), MPV (p=0.025), eGFR (p=0.019) and the Framingham score (p=0.008) were significantly higher in malign group. Among the components constituting the Framingham score, only presence of smoking (p=0.032), presence of hypertension (p=0.041) and total cholesterol values (p=0.021) were significantly higher. In multivariate analysis, NLR>2.02 (OR: 7.184, p=0.037), PLR>109.65 (OR: 12.692, p=0.002), MPV>3.44 (OR: 10.543, p=0.046) and Framingham score >10.5 (OR: 12.287, p=0.007) were found as predictive factors for distinguishing small solid renal masses concerning malignancy. Conclusion: We think that NLR, PLR, MPV and the Framingham scores may be used in the clinical evaluation of small solid renal masses. In this way, we may prevent the unnecessary loss of nephrons in benign masses with suspicion of malignancy.
Purpose: In the preoperative assessment of small (≤4 cm) solid renal masses, we looked at the predictive value of the additional clinical parameters that can be used to make a benign-malign distinction, to identify patients who should be avoided from surgeons that will result in unnecessary nefron loss. Methods: Between September 2009 and December 2017, the data of 56 patients with a partial or radical nefrectomy with a pre-diagnosis of localized renal cell carcinoma ≤4 cm were examined retrospective. Demographic data of patients, histopathological tumor types, neutrophil/lenfocyt ratio (NLO), monocyt/lenfocyt ratio (MLO), platelet/lenfocyt ratio (PLO), average platelet volume (MPV), erythrosite distribution width (RDW), Framingham risk score and the presence of components that predict the development of 10 years of cardiovascular disease and mortality risk, postoperative tracking data were recorded. According to the tumor histopathology, patients were compared by dividing into two groups, benign and malign. Results: 13 of 56 patients with an average diagnosed age of 60 (min: 35-max: 74) had benign, 43 had malignant pathology. MLO (p=0.011), NLO (p=0.032), PLO (p=0.006), MPV (p=0.025) and eGFR (p=0.019) are significantly high in the malign group; RDW (p=0.396) does not see any difference between the groups. In malign cases, Framingham’s score was higher (p=0.008); in the components that made this risk score, only smoking (p=0.032), hypertension (p=0.041), total cholesterol (p=0.021) were significantly higher. Following the calculation of the cut values according to the ROC analysis, in the multi-variable analysis, NLO>2.02 (OR: 7.184, p=0.037), PLO>109.65 (OR: 12.692, p=0.002), MPV>3.44 (OR: 10.543, p=0.046) and Framingham score>10.5 (OR: 12.287, p=0.007) were determined as predictive factors in making benign-malign distinction in small solid renal masses. In the clinical assessment of small solid renal masses, where malignity distinction is not clearly done, we consider that by increasing the predictive power of using the NLO, PLO, MPV and Framingham scores, we can prevent unnecessary nefron loss in benign masses.
