Why the study?
Does tumor stage and ploidy predict the risk of metastasis and survival in patients with nonmetastatic RCC after radical nephrectomy?
Does tumor stage and ploidy predict the risk of metastasis and survival in patients with nonmetastatic RCC after radical nephrectomy?
The risk of tumor progression after radical nephrectomy for nonmetastatic RCC depends mainly on stage and ploidy, suggesting follow-up can be tailored accordingly.

Stage predicts metastasis risk and survival after nephrectomy for nonmetastatic RCC; supports risk-adapted follow-up but leaves open prospective validation.
Ljungberg et al. (1999) studied this question.
