A scoring algorithm that can be used to predict cancer specific survival for patients with metastatic clear cell renal cell carcinoma (RCC). The scoring system is based on stage of disease, spread to the lymph nodes, tumour size, nuclear grade and tumour necrosis. A low score (0-2) is a good prognosis, whereas a high score (6-11) is a poor prognosis.
