Abstract
We confirm that the prognostic usefulness of the current 2002 TNM system for pT3 renal cell carcinoma is limited. We have identified 4 groups of tumors with distinct patterns of invasion and significantly different survival probabilities in this category. Large prospective series are needed to validate these findings.
