Robson staging of renal cell cancer
Robson staging of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is simple but has largely been replaced by the TNM system (see renal cell cancer staging article). Robson staging revolves around the relationship to Gerota's fascia, involvement of renal vein and regional nodes.
- Stage 1 : limited to kidney
- Stage 2 : limited to Gerota's fascia
- Stage 3A : renal vein involvement
- Stage 3B : nodal involvement
- Stage 3C : both A and B
