Objective: To evaluate the effect of age and gender on survival in patients who underwent radical nephrectomy.
Materials and Methods: A hundred and seventy seven patients who underwent radical retrospectively because of renal carcinoma were eveluated retrosepectively between 1990 and 2012. Patients are divided into five groups (<49, 50-59, 60-69, 70-79, ≥80) according to age and to evaluate the effect of age and gender on sur-vival
Results: Seventy three of all patients were fe-male (41,2%) and 104 patiens were male (58,8%). Mean age of all patients was 69,11±12.42. Mean follow up time was 36,7±38.92 months. Medi-an survival was 29 ±28,65 months in patients whom ≤49 years, 46 ± 11,348 months in pati-ents whom ≤50-59 years, 48 ±8,11, months in patients whom ≤ 60-69 years, 41±5,28 months in patients whom ≤70-79 years, 32±3,8 months in patients whom ≥80. There was no significant different among groups (p=0,684) (Figure 1). Median survival was 41±12,55 months in fe-male patients, 44±6,78 months in male patients (p=0.59)(Figure 2).
Five years median survival was 31.2 months in male patients and 29.3 months in female. Ac-cording to age groups, five years survival. Me-dian survival was 48 months in patients whom ≤49 years, 29.2 months in patients whom ≤50-59 years, 36.6 months in patients whom ≤ 60-69 ye-ars, 36.9 months in patients whom ≤70-79 years, 35.5 months in patients whom ≥80 years.
Conclusion: In our study, we observed that age and gender had no effect on survival. For this reason we think that radical nephrectomy opera-tion is also performed in elderly patients due to renal cell cancer
Key Words: Renal cell carsinoma, gender, age
