Abstract
Objective
To explore the clinicopathological features and prognosis of TFE3-rearranged renal cell carcinomas (TFE3-rRCC).
Methods
In this retrospective observational study, the data of patients with TFE3-rRCC admitted to Xijing Hospital from January 2010 to October 2023 were collected, encompassing the general information, pathological diagnosis, immunohistochemistry, and the results of FISH detection. The treatment information and survival data of the patients were recorded during the follow-up.
Results
A total of 55 patients with TFE3-rRCC were enrolled, among whom 25 were males and 30 were females. TFE3 FISH assay suggested the disruption of the TFE3 gene. Fifty-four patients underwent surgical resection of kidney lesions, while 1 patient did not. By the end of follow-up in December 2023, 3 patients were lost to follow-up, 28 patients remained alive, and 24 patients had died. Among the 52 patients followed up, 31 developed metastases, involving lymph nodes, liver, bone, lung, peritoneum, pleura, adrenal gland, and brain. The 1-year and 5-year survival rates of the patients were 84.6% and 50.6%, respectively. In this study, there were 31 patients with TFE3-rRCC recurrence or metastasis. Median PFS was 7 and 13 months in the VEGFR-TKI and VEGFR-TKI+ ICI groups, respectively. The median OS was 12 months in the VEGFR-TKI treatment group. The median OS data of VEGFR-TKI+ ICI group has not been reached. The ORR and DCR was 25%, 66.7% in the VEGFR-TKI group. The ORR and DCR was 33.3%, 77.8% in the VEGFR-TKI+ ICI group.
Conclusion
TFE3-rRCC is a rare subtype of malignant renal tumor. The diagnosis mainly relies on pathological morphology, immunohistochemistry, and the detection of TFE3 gene disruption by FISH. In terms of treatment, surgery is the primary approach, and lymph nodes, liver, and bone are the main metastatic sites. VEGFR-TKI+ICI treatment might be an option of recurrent or metastatic TFE3-rRCC.
