Disparities in Cancer Specific and Overall Survival Outcomes in African Americans With Renal Cell Carcinoma: Analysis From the International Marker Consortium for Renal Cancer (INMARC)

Abstract

Objective: To investigate association of African-American race and survival in Renal Cell Carcinoma (RCC). Patients and Methods: We queried the International Marker Consortium for Renal Cancer database for patients who underwent partial or radical (RN) nephrectomy. The cohort was divided into African American (AA) and non-African American (NAA) patients. Primary outcome was all-cause mortality. Secondary outcome was cancer-specific mortality. Multivariable Analysis and Kaplan-Meier Analysis were used to elucidate predictive factors and survival outcomes. Results: Three thousand eight hundred and ninety-three patients were analyzed (AA, n = 564/NAA, n = 3329). AA had greater Stage I (73.8% vs 63.9%, P
