PADUA renal-tumor complexity score
PADUA score (Ficarra 2009) for a renal tumor: a 6-14 complexity score from longitudinal location, exophytic rate, renal rim, sinus and collecting-system involvement, and tumor size; 6-7 low, 8-9 intermediate, >= 10 high.

Example
- Longitudinal (polar) location
- Middle (2)
- Exophytic rate
- <50% exophytic (2)
- Renal rim
- Lateral (1)
- Renal sinus involvement
- Not involved (1)
- Urinary collecting-system involvement
- Not involved (1)
- Tumor size
- ≤4 cm (1)
- Anterior / posterior face
- Anterior (a)
Result: PADUA 8 (a) -- intermediate complexity-risk (6-7 low, 8-9 intermediate, >=10 high).
The tool opens with these values already filled in. Replace them with your own.
What the result means
- 6-7
- Low complexity-risk for nephron-sparing surgery.
- 8-9
- Intermediate complexity-risk.
- >=10
- High complexity-risk. Distinct from the unrelated VTE Padua Prediction Score.
What you enter
- Longitudinal (polar) location
- Exophytic rate
- Renal rim (lateral / medial)
- Renal sinus involvement
- Urinary collecting-system involvement
- Tumor size
- Anterior / posterior face
