This study found that the prevalence of RCC-related CSI was 3%. Because of the low prevalence, we cannot exclude the possibility that CSI on CT would be associated with the OS and RFS. Further studies are needed to determine whether CSI on CT can be an independent prognostic factor for survival in patients with RCC.
