BackgroundImmune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have increased in prevalence for the treatment of metastatic clear-cell renal cell carcinoma (mccRCC) in recent years given their efficacy and favorable toxicity profile. However, there has been insufficient investigation in the literature of how clinical outcomes differ on the basis of race. In this paper, we investigated differences in clinical outcomes between African American (AA) and Caucasian mRCC patients treated with ICI therapy.MethodsWe performed a retrospective study of 198 patients with mRCC who received ICI at the Emory Winship Cancer Institute from 2015–2020. Clinical outcomes were measured by overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), and clinical benefit (CB). OS and PFS were calculated from ICI-initiation to date of death and radiographic or clinical progression, respectively. CB was defined as a best radiographic response of complete response, partial response, or stable disease maintained for at least 6 months per response evaluation criteria in solid tumors version 1.1. The association of self-identified race with OS and PFS was generally modeled by Cox proportional hazards model. Univariable and multivariable logistic regression models were used for binary outcomes of CB. The univariate association of immune-related adverse events (irAEs) and non-clear-cell RCC (nccRCC) with race was assessed using Chi-square test.ResultsOur cohort was made up of 38 AA (19%) and 160 Caucasian (81%) patients. Most of the patients were diagnosed with ccRCC (78%) and more than half received PD-1 monotherapy (57%). Most patients were international mRCC database consortium (IMDC) intermediate (57%) or poor-risk (25%) groups. AA patients displayed significantly shorter PFS (HR=1.52, 95% CI: 1.01–2.3, p=0.045) and trended towards decreased CB (OR=0.51, 95% CI: 0.22–1.17, p=0.111) in MVA (table 1). There was no difference in OS (HR=1.09, 95% CI: 0.61–1.95, p=0.778) between the two racial groups in MVA (table 1). On Kaplan-Meier method, AA patients had shorter median OS (17 vs 25 months, p=0.3676) and median PFS (3.1 vs 4.4 months, p=0.0676) relative to Caucasian patients (figure 1). Additionally, AA patients more commonly had nccRCC compared to Caucasian patients (41.7% vs 17.5% nccRCC, p-0.002). AA patients also trended towards a lower incidence of irAEs compared to Caucasian patients in UVA (23.7% vs 35.8%, p=0.153).Abstract 223 Table 1*MVA controlled for age, race, gender, IMDC risk group, number of prior lines of therapy, PD-1 monotherapy, and ccRCC**statistical significance at alpha < 0.05Abstract 223 Figure 1African-American (black) and Caucasian (white) for OS (left panel) and PFS (right panel)ConclusionsIn this group of mRCC patients treated with ICI, African American patients had significantly shorter PFS compared to Caucasian patients. These findings suggest race could play a role in the management of late-stage mRCC. Larger, prospective studies are needed to validate these findings.AcknowledgementsResearch reported in this publication was supported in part by the Breen Foundation and the Biostatistics Shared Resource of Winship Cancer Institute of Emory University and NIH/NCI under award number P30CA138292.

AbstractTo investigate the detection of peritumoral pseudocapsule (PC) using multi-detector row computed tomography (MDCT) for tumors resected by robot-assisted laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (RAPN) for T1 renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Study participants included 206 patients with clinical T1 RCC who underwent RAPN between October 2017 and February 2018. Two radiologists who were blinded to the pathological findings evaluated the computed tomography (CT) images. Radiological diagnosis of a PC was defined by a combination of observations, including a low-attenuation rim between the tumor and renal cortex in the cortico-medullary phase and a high-attenuation rim at the edge of the tumor in the nephrogenic or excretory phase. A PC was detected on CT in 156/206 tumors (76%) and identified by pathology in 182/206 (88%) tumors including 153/166 (92%) clear cell RCC, 13/14 (93%) papillary RCC, and 7/16 (44%) chromophobe RCC. In the whole cohort, CT findings showed a sensitivity of 81.3% (148/182), specificity of 66.7% (16/24), and positive predictive value of 94.9% (148/156). When the data were stratified according to pathological subtypes, MDCT was observed to have a sensitivity of 86.9% (133/153) and specificity of 61.5% (8/13) in clear cell RCC, sensitivity of 38.5% (5/13) and specificity of 100% (1/1) in papillary RCC, and sensitivity of 44.4% (4/7) and specificity of 66.7% (6/9) in chromophobe RCC. A low or high-attenuation rim around the tumor in the cortico-medullary or nephrographic-to-excretory phase indicates a PC of RCC, though the accuracy is not satisfactory even with 64- or 320-detector MDCT.

Renal cell cancer metastases without evidence of a primary tumor are extremely rare. These variants are usually showed as a spontaneous description of single clinical cases. Aim.This contribution is a clinical follow-up of synchronous renal cell cancer metastases of unknown primary site. Results.A 52-year-old patient U. with a history of increased blood pressure, up to 170/100 mmHg for the last 5 years, who had undergone many instrumental examinations, including ultrasound examination, because of this disease. The computed tomography of the abdomen showed a 4975 mm heterogeneous tumor in the right adrenal gland in October 2017. The combined positron emission and X-ray computed tomography showed a 795441 mm mass in the right adrenal gland, associated with elevated fluorodeoxyglucose metabolic activity SUVmax 7.25. Focal accumulation of the radiopharmaceutical SUVmax 4.31 in a 171124 mm mass was detected in the space of bifurcation in the mediastinum. The lytic lesion (1015 mm) was found in right superior L3 articular process. The patient underwent retroperitoneoscopic adrenalectomy and thoracoscopic removal of mediastinal tumor in November 2017 because of the oligometastatic nature of the process. The histological study identified clear-cell carcinoma with areas of papillary structure in the right adrenal gland. The immunohistochemical study showed carcinoma cells intensively expressing CD10, and some other cells RCC. The immune phenotype of the tumor was identified as clear-cell renal cell carcinoma. The immunohistological and immunohistochemical analysis reviled the metastases of the same variant of renal cell carcinoma in one of 9 lymph nodes. The patient was treated with pazopanib. The primary renal tumor was not detected during the dynamic observation, including the application of annual combined positron emission and X-ray computed tomography. The patient is alive without disease progression with a follow-up of 32 months. Conclusion.Metastases of clear-cell renal cell carcinoma, including adrenal gland, without evidence of a primary site are extremely rare. The main method of treatment is a combination of surgery and targeted therapy, providing long-term local control of the course of the disease.
