The impact of a number of prognostic nomograms typically including clinico-pathological variables like TNM staging, tumor grade, performance status and serum blood markers (hemoglobin, calcium, lactate dehydrogenase, platelets, neutrophiles and c-reactive protein) have been suggested for risk stratification in ccRCC/TT, but so far none of these models achieve the status of an independent, reliable and applicable predictor system in ccRCC/TT [9]. Here, CRP is linked to nonpapillary renal cell carcinoma.
