Evaluation of the frequency of symptomatic and incidental detection of renal carcinoma at different stages depending on the imaging modality used
In the Czech Republic, there is no screening program for renal cell carcinoma. Existing evidence suggests that incidental detection of this cancer tends to occur in its early stages, which are more manageable due to effective treatment options, ultimately reducing renal cancer mortality. This highlights the potential value of evaluating current imaging modalities and determining their role in secondary prevention. This cross-sectional study, based on hospital data, aims to contribute to a better understanding of this issue and to assess the effectiveness of imaging techniques in the early detection of renal cell carcinoma. Furthermore, data analysis may reveal the influence of risk factors on the detection of tumors at various stages.

Surgical treatment of renal lesions

Detection-specific renal cell carcinoma (RCC) proportions
Detection-specific renal cell carcinoma (RCC) proportions, defined as the proportion of each detection type relative to all RCC cases. Results will be stratified by stage, histological type, and imaging modality.
Time frame: From 2011 to 2020
Proportion of RCC among neoplastic and non-neoplastic renal lesions
Proportion of RCC among neoplastic and non-neoplastic renal lesions, stratified by investigated covariates (e.g., age, sex, smoking status, BMI, or hypertension treatment).
Time frame: From 2011 to 2020
