Accuracy of color Doppler sonography in assessing venous thrombus extension in renal cell carcinoma.

Abstract: OBJECTIVE.Our objective was to evaluate the accuracy of color Doppler sonography for assessing tumor thrombus extension into the renal veins, the inferior vena cava, and the right side of the heart in patients with renal cell carcinoma. MATERIALS

“…Up to 100% sensitivity for renal vein involvement and 89–100% sensitivity for inferior vena caval involvement have been reported [8, 10]. Habboub et al [8]reported a retrospective study on Doppler sonography examination of 39 patients with renal masses and found a sensitivity of 75% for renal vein and 100% for vena cava thromboses with a specifity of 96%. These findings are limited because the examiner was not blinded to the pevious CT scan [8].…”

These findings are limited because the examiner was not blinded to the pevious CT scan [8]. Bos and Mensink [9]compared Doppler ultrasound and conventional CT scan during staging of patients with renal cell carcinoma and found Doppler sonography to be as accurate as CT scan in staging renal cell carcinoma and renal vein or vena cava thrombosis.…”

“…Renkli Doppler US'nin renal ven trombüsünü saptamada duyarlılığı %75, özgüllüğü %96'dır. İnferior vena kavadaki trombüsün saptanmasında ise doğruluğu %100'dür (36). Ancak ultrasonografinin retroperiton ve perinefritik dokunun değerlendirilmesinde etkinliği sınırlıdır.…”

“…133 Renal vein involvement may be visualized with CT, MRI or Doppler ultrasound. 134,135 Nephrectomy and tumour thrombectomy in the absence of metastasis may provide durable disease response with acceptable morbidity. 136 Tumour thrombectomy with cytoreductive nephrectomy in the metastatic setting should be considered for all patients secondary to the poor outcome associated with untreated intravascular disease.…”
