1.3 Classificatie
Wetenschappelijke onderbouwing
In 1996 werd in Heidelberg de eerste classificatie van nierceltumoren opgesteld (Kovacs
1997), die gebaseerd was op de resultaten van histopathologisch onderzoek met betrekking
tot morfologische overeenkomsten met delen van het nefron (Thoenes en Störkel 1986) en
cytogenetisch onderzoek (Kovacs 1993, Van de Berg 1993). Deze classificatie werd in 2002
met geringe modificaties overgenomen door de WHO. Zie tabel 1.1 en figuur 1.2.
De waarde van de huidige histopathologische classificatie wordt verder bevestigd door
verschillen in frequentie van cytogenetische afwijkingen (Sanders 2002, Junker 2003) en in
gen-expressie profielen (Yamazaki 2003, Takahashi 2003, Furge 2004).
Naar aanleiding van deze nieuwe classificatie zijn klinisch-pathologische onderzoeken
verricht naar de verschillen in biologisch gedrag van de subtypes van het niercelcarcinoom.
