Detailed explanation-1: -Chromophobe RCCs reportedly have the best prognosis of all of the different RCC subtypes, with a 5-year survival rate of over 90%, as opposed to clear cell and papillary RCCs, which have rates of survival of 55– 60% and 80–90%, respectively [2–4].
Detailed explanation-2: -Chromophobe renal cell carcinoma is a rare subtype of the most common form of kidney cancer called renal cell carcinoma (RCC). This type of cancer forms in the cells lining the small tubules in the kidney. These tubules help filter waste from the blood, making urine.
Detailed explanation-3: -Papillary and chromophobe types of renal cell carcinoma have a better prognosis because they are often low grade. Collecting duct carcinoma and renal medullary carcinoma have a poor prognosis because they are often very aggressive.
