This retrospective study assessed the prognostic value of different clinical and morphological factors of renal-cell carcinoma (RCC) in patients undergoing radical surgery. The paper describes a clinical study of 149 patients operated on in 1997 to 2003. The patients were divided into two groups: a) those with incidental carcinoma and b) those with symptomatic carcinoma. Cancer-specific survival determined by the Kaplan-Meier method. Patients with incidental RCC show a higher cancer-specific
