Formal staging classifications for renal cell carcinoma (RCC) were first proposed in 1978 and were incorporated into the Tumour, Nodes, Metastases (TNM) system initially published by the Union Internationale Contre le Cancer (UICC) in 1978. There has been a gradual evolution of grading criteria through six separate editions of the UICC TNM Classification, with the latest edition being published in 2016. Somewhat surprisingly there were no changes to the T category criteria from the 2009 to the 2016 editions of the classification, although an erratum has subsequently been published that incorporated the minor changes included in the eighth edition of the TNM Classification published by the American Joint Committee on Cancer. Localised tumours are staged according to the size of the primary tumour, with the TNM classification recognising that these tumours may exceed 10 cm in diameter. This is unfortunate as there is good evidence to demonstrate that, for clear cell RCC, virtually all tumours 7 cm in diameter and a substantial proportion of tumours
