Table 2 Comparison between CT and Pathology when Tumours are stratified according to the TNM criteria
From: Implications of computer tomography measurement in the management of renal tumours
Pathological Stage (size in mm) | Number of Patients | Mean CT size (mm) | Mean Pathological size (mm) | Difference (mm) | Difference % | p value |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
T1a/T3a (< 40 mm) | 17 | 33.9 | 27.5 | 6.4 | 23 | 0.13 |
T1b/T3a (40–70 mm) | 47 | 58.6 | 56.4 | 2.2 | 3.9 | 0.48 |
T2/T3a (> 70 mm) | 42 | 99 | 106 | -7 | -6.6 | 0.07 |
