UISS (UCLA Integrated Staging System, RCC)

UCLA Integrated Staging System (UISS; Zisman 2001/2002, Patard 2004 validation) for surgically resected, LOCALIZED (N0M0) renal cell carcinoma — integrates 1997 TNM stage, Fuhrman grade,…

Example

Primary tumor stage
T4
Fuhrman grade
Grade 2
ECOG performance status
ECOG 0

Result: UISS tier: high risk

The tool opens with these values already filled in. Replace them with your own.

What the result means

Low
T1, Fuhrman grade 1-2, ECOG 0 — ~92% 5-year overall survival.
High
T4 (any grade/ECOG), or T3 grade 2-4 with ECOG >= 1 — ~44% 5-year overall survival.
Intermediate
Every other localized (N0M0) combination — ~67% 5-year overall survival.
Scope
Localized (N0M0) only; node-positive / metastatic disease uses the metastatic-RCC models (IMDC, MSKCC).

What you enter

  • Primary tumor stage (T, 1997 TNM)
  • Fuhrman grade
  • ECOG performance status (0 or >= 1)
