Development and External Validation of a Nomogram Predicting Disease Specific Survival After Nephrectomy for Papillary Renal Cell Carcinoma

We developed a highly accurate tool specifically for papillary renal cell carcinoma using basic clinical and pathological information to predict disease specific survival. This tool should be helpful to identify papillary renal cell carcinoma with aggressive clinical behavior and may contribute to the ability to individualize postoperative surveillance and therapy.
