ABSTRACT
Purpose of the study. To determine the influence of prognostic factors on survival rates
in patients
with mRCC aged . 75
years.
Materials and methods. A retrospective study included 77 mRCC patients aged . 75 years who received systemic therapy
at the Municipal Oncologic Hospital No. 62 in Moscow and the Municipal Oncologic Dispensary in St. Petersburg from 2006
to 2019. Clinical data from medical records were obtained and analyzed retrospectively, all patients underwent clinical, laboratory,
and pathomorphological examination. Patients' survival rates were evaluated using the statistical method of survival
time analysis (Survival Analysis). Descriptive characteristics of survival time were calculated in the form of life tables, and
Kaplan-Meier curves were constructed.
Results. In the present study, a favorable prognosis according to International Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma Database
Consortium (IMDC)was noted in 20.8
% of patients with mRCC aged . 75 years; 6.5
% had solitary metastases. The 3- and
5-year survival rates were 35.8 % and 21.2 %.
In single-factor analysis in mRCC patients . 75 years of age, it was found that ECOG status (p < 0.001), histological subtype
(p = 0,01), Fuhrman grade of tumour differentiation (p = 0.003), type of metastases (p = 0.045), liver metastases (p < 0.001),
IMDC prognosis (p = 0.042) and nephrectomy (p = 0.014).
Conclusion. In
a multivariate
analysis, factors
affecting survival
in
patients
with
mRCC aged . 75
years
included sex, histologic
subtype, number of metastases, bone and lymph node metastases, IMDC prognosis, and radiation therapy and nephrectomy.
Further studies are needed to identify additional personalized prognostic factors in elderly patients with metastatic renal cell
carcinoma (mRCC).

INRODUCTION
Over the past decade, the incidence of RCC has
been increasing annually. RCC occurs in 25 % of patients
with newly diagnosed RCC over the age of 75
([1]. Currently, the majority of patients with metastatic
renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) receive various
options for systemic therapy, due to which the median
overall
survival
(s)
increased to 4
years
[2, 3]. It
is known that in elderly patients, the activity of the
tumor process
is
lower due to a slowdown in
metabolic
processes in the body. The implementation of
modern drug therapy contributes to an increase in
Table 1. Characteristics of patients

the indicators of OS in patients with mRCC, includ
ing in
elderly patients
[4]. But
aggressive
systemic
therapy in patients over 75
years of age is associated
with an increased risk of undesirable side effects
that worsen the quality of life. In our study, we
studied prognostic factors in patients with mRCC
aged . 75 years, affecting survival rates.

Patient data was consolidated in the form of
spreadsheets and analyzed using the Statistica
12 for Windows program. Life expectancy was calculated
from the date of diagnosis to the date of
last observation or death. Survival was assessed
using the Kaplan-Mayer method, survival differences
were determined using a log-rank test; Cox
regression analysis was used to exclude factors
that
do not
have
independent
prognostic significance.
An analysis of the S of patients with mRCC

was
performed, depending
on
the
histological variant of the tumor, the degree of
tumor differentiation according to Fuhrman, the
IMDC prognosis group, the number, type and localization
of metastases, cytoreductive surgery
and radiation therapy.

The clinical and morphological characteristics

DISCUSSION
Currently, due to an increase in life expectancy,
the number of senile patients with renal cell carcinoma
is growing in the world, 25 % of patients over
75 years of age are diagnosed with RCC for the
first time ([1]. In a retrospective study by Kanesvaran
R et al. old age does not affect the indicators
of OS in mRCC [5]. In our
study, the rates of 3
and 5-year-olds in patients with mRCC . 75 years
were 35.8 % and 21.2 %. In the work of Ryuichi
Mizuno
et al. A
decrease in OS in senile patients
is possible due to an unbalanced distribution of
patients
in
the
IMDC prognosis
groups, a higher incidence
of anemia, as well as a higher percentage
of patients receiving symptomatic therapy instead
of second-line systemic
therapy [6]. In our
study,
anemia was noted in 35.1 % of patients, 1/5 of
patients in the group with a favorable prognosis
according to IMDC, one third of patients had bone
metastases.
The decrease in OS indicators may occur due
to ineffective therapy of senile patients and early
transfer of this category to symptomatic treatment
[7]. Modern
drug therapy over the
past
few
decades has led to
a significant increase in OS
rates in patients with mRCC. Elderly patients after
the first line of systemic
therapy are not always
transferred to the second line due to the high
risk
of adverse
events. This
is
due
to a lack
of
evidence that elderly patients can tolerate systemic
therapy of two or more lines in order to increase
the indicators of OS. Currently, in addition
to prognostic prognostic factors, personalized
therapeutic strategies
are
being
developed
[8, 9].
In our
study,
we identified additional prognostic
factors affecting survival rates in senile patients
with mRCC.
The limitations of this study are the size of the
studied group of patients and its retrospective nature.
Further research is needed to develop personalized
approaches in elderly patients with mRCC
to improve the quality of life and increase the indicators
of OS.
CONCLUSION
The factors influencing survival rates in patients
with mRCC aged . 75
years in multivariate analysis
were gender, histological subtype, number of
metastases, bone and lymph node metastases,
IMDC prognosis, as well as radiation therapy and
nephrectomy.
Further studies are needed to determine additional
personalized prognostic factors in senile
patients with mRCC.
