kidney renal neoplasmus collecting duct carcinoma
summary
- Objective. Collecting duct carcinoma (CDC) is a rare form of distal nephron
- renal cancer. CDC originates from the epithelium of the collecting duct.
- Microscopically it is built of papillary structures covered with a single layer of
- cuboidal cells with elernents of fibres and yessels. CDC arises in central, medullar
- part of the kidney irregulary infiltrating cortex. Clinically CDC grows very fast
- with a poor prognosis. Also distant metastases develop fast, local inflitration of
- dorsal muscles and patienfs death occurs much often than in clear cell carcinomas.
- The treatment of choice as in all kidney tumours is radical surgery. Similary, all
- forms of adjuvant therapy e.g. radio and chemotherapy, give poor outcomes. The
- value of immunomodulation therapy has not yet been proved.
- Patients and methods. We present 6 patients with CDC. Patients age was from
- 40 to 73. All patients had a distant metastases in moment of diagnosis. In all cases
- nephrectomy with local limphadenectomy was performed and different forms of
- adjuyant therapy was used. Mean time of survival did not excess 7 months.
- Conclusions. In 2 cases genetic analyse with the techniąue of loss of
- heterozygodity (LOH) was performed. We revealed the deletion of 3rd
- chromosome short arm (3p). Despite the specifity of genetic changes in kidney
- tumours still remains unclear, we conclude that genetic analyse could be useful
- in differentiation of their subtypes and could has a prognostic value.
