Abstract
Our data suggest that the current pT2 classification can be improved by subclassification into pT2a and pT2b based on a tumor size cutoff of 11 cm. Patients in the proposed pT2bN0M0 group are at higher risk for death from renal cell carcinoma and should be considered for adjuvant therapies. External validation is warranted before suggesting change to the TNM classification.
