Renal
cell carcinoma (RCC) is the most common malignant renal tumor in adults, with
the three major subtypes, clear cell RCC, papillary RCC, and chromophobe RCC.
Because of clincal needs for RCC subtypes differentiation, this study
explores the ADC values of pathologically-proved clear cell, papillary, and
chromophobe RCC subtypes, and the
conclusion is drawn that they possess different diffusion characteristics
that can be distinguished using DWI on the basis of the ADC, with high
sensitivity and specificity, potentially improving the accuracy of
pretreatment diagnosis and selection of clinical therapy.
