For those lesions which progressed to mRCC, mean net increase in maximal tumor diameter was 3.15 cm (range 1.8-6) while mean growth rate was 0.74 cm/year (range 0.20-1.33) from the time of diagnosis to detection of mRCC. No lesions progressed to mRCC in the absence of interval radiographic growth. Mean time from tumor diagnosis to clinical metastases was 65.4 months (range 20-132). CONCLUSIONS: Metastatic progression of renal masses managed by active surveillance is an infrequent event. All reported primary lesions which progressed to mRCC during a period of surveillance demonstrated rapid interval radiographic growth prior to clinical detection of metastasis, which was a delayed event (mean 65.4 months). Metastasic progression has not been reported in the absence of interval growth. These data suggest that an initial period of close radiographic surveillance may identify lesions at higher risk for progression.

1090 INVESTIGATION OF PREOPERATIVE SERUM C-REACTIVE PROTEIN ELEVATION IN RECURRENCE FOR PATIENTS WITH LOCALIZED RENAL CELL CARCINOMA Soichi Mugiya*, Seiichiro Ozono, Masao Nagata, Tatsuya Takayama, Tomomi Ushiyama.

INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVE: Serum level of C-reactive protein (CRP) is frequently increased in patients with cancer, and was found to be associated with the prognosis in patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma (RCC).

1091 MATRIX METALLOPROTEINASES AND ITS RELATED PROTEINS ARE PROGNOSTIC FACTORS OF LOW GRADE RENAL CELL CARCINOMA WITHOUT METASTASIS Kenya Yamaguchi*, Nozomu Kawata, Yusuke Nagane, Takumi Igarashi, Taketo Ichinose, Hitoshi Hirakata, Yukie Takimoto, Satoru Takahashi. Tokyo, Japan. INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVE: To determine whether matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and its related proteins are prognostic factors of low grade renal cell carcinoma without metastasis. METHODS: From 1988 to 2003, 252 cases with renal cell carcinoma underwent operation at our institution. 187 cases out of 252 had Fuhrman’s grade 1 or grade 2 without metastasis. The group consisted of 144 male and 43 female with an average age of 59.6 years old. The average observation period of them was 55.5 month. According to the AJCC cancer staging manual (the 6th edition), StageIwere in 124 cases, stageII 26 cases and stageIII 37 cases.

The evaluated parameters for uni- and multivariate analysis included positive immunoreactivities for MMP-2, MMP-9, TIMP-1, TIMP-2, MT-1MMP, presence of symptom, tumor diameter>40mm, stage and vascular invasion. For the determination of type of MMP, we combined positive reactivity for MT-1-MMP with MMP-2 or MMP-9 and describe like MTMMP2 or MT-MMP9. RESULTS: Presence of symptoms, tumor diameter, MMP-2, MMP-9, MT-MMP-2 were meaningful prognostic factors by the XQLYDULDWHDQDO\VLVZLWKHDFKKD]DUGUDWLRRI respectively (Fig.1).
