Accuracy of Contrast-enhanced CT in Diagnosing Small-sized cT3a Renal Cell Carcinoma and Analysis of Factors Predicting Downstaging to pT1
The accuracy of preoperative CECT was acceptable for detecting venous invasion. The downstaging to pT1 occurred in 37% of cT3a RCC cases in the final pathology, with non-clear cell carcinoma being a significant predictor.
