Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is rare in patients <40 years old and conflicting data regarding presentation and outcome are present in the literature. We reviewed our experience with young RCC patients comparing them to older counterparts. We identified 1,720 patients 18-79 years old managed with partial or radical nephrectomy for RCC between 1989 and 2005. Patients were grouped according to age and outcome analyses were conducted. Among the 1,720 RCC patients, there were 89 (5%), 672 (39%), and 959 (56%) patients aged <40, 40-59, and 60-79 years old, respectively. There were no significant differences in sex, tumor size, TNM stage, or multifocality by age group. However, patients <40 years old were significantly more likely to present with symptomatic tumors (p=0.028). Additionally, there were significant differences in histology by age (p<0.001); chromophobe histology decreased while papillary histology increased with age. Despite similar tumor sizes in each age group, the percentage of patients treated with partial nephrectomy declined with age; 49% of patients <40 years old were treated with partial nephrectomy compared with 35% and 30% of patients aged 40-59 and 60-79 years old, respectively (p<0.001). With a median follow-up of 2.6 years (range 0-14.5), we did not observe a significant difference in cancer-specific survival according to age (p=0.17). Younger RCC patients are more likely to have symptomatic tumors with chromophobe histology although prognosis appears similar across age groups. Older patients are more likely to be treated with radical nephrectomy and this requires careful scrutiny for current clinical practice.
