This review aims to outline the current understanding of staging and grading in renal cell carcinoma (RCC).
Review of existing literature on RCC staging and grading parameters.
Discussion on tumor size, invasion patterns, and their implications for prognosis.
Evaluation of emerging prognostic factors like histologic grading and tumor necrosis.
Tumor stage is the most vital prognostic factor in RCC, influenced by size and invasion.
Clear cell RCC often invades surrounding structures, making true pT2 rare.
Histologic grading has shifted focus to nucleolar prominence and other emerging parameters.

Zalles et al. (2025) studied this question.
