TL;DR
Symptomatic presentation correlates with an aggressive histology and advanced disease and should be included in RCC-specific modeling systems.
Abstract
Symptomatic presentation correlates with an aggressive histology and advanced disease. Incidental tumors may be frequently detected in female and elderly patients, as these groups traditionally seek general medical care more regularly. Mode of presentation can independently predict an adverse patient outcome and should be included in RCC-specific modeling systems.

The stage, grade, and patient age observed in this series of incidentally found tumors raises the question of whether to leave the current diagnostic approach unaltered, thus benefiting a subgroup of patients with clinically unrecognized and possibly indolent renal cell carcinoma, or to extend early detection programs to younger patients with potentially more aggressive tumors.

It is concluded that renal oncocytomas have a varied morphologic appearance and their pathologic diagnosis should be based on a constellation of architectural and cytologic features.

The detection of renal cell carcinoma before symptom onset enables treatment of less aggressive tumors and provides a better prognosis for patients and demonstrates the prognostic value of tumor grade and molecular markers for the future evaluation and treatment of renalcell carcinoma.
The Journal of UrologyRenal Cell Carcinoma as an Incidental Finding
280 Citations1985John W. Κοnnak, H. Barton Grossman
Routine use of excretory urography, computerized tomography, ultrasound, bone scans and other effective diagnostic studies has led to earlier diagnosis, lower stage and possibly better survival in incidentally found cases of renal cell carcinoma than in cases when the diagnosis was suspected.

219 Citations1988Ian M. Thompson, Michael Peek
The data suggest that with currently available treatments for renal cell carcinoma a principal method to improve the prognosis of this disease would be through earlier detection, and low disease incidence would mitigate against morphological screening but case finding techniques may prove useful.

The patients with incidental tumors had a better prognosis than those with symptomatic tumors because of lower tumoral size and local stage and the early diagnosis of renal cell carcinoma improved the prognosis of the patients.

Although early detection of prostate cancer has traditionally used both PSA measurement and DRE, PSA testing alone could be more easily implemented and may encourage some men to seek consultation who might not otherwise have done so.

The data show that the natural history of renal cell carcinoma is not significantly altered by the incidental detection of tumor, and appears to have impacted minimally on the discovery of earlier stage tumors than those with presenting clinical symptoms.

The increased detection of incidental tumours should further improve survival in RCC and continue to advocate radical nephrectomy for incidentally detected tumours, as it offers the best outcome and simplifies the follow-up.
