What stage does kidney cancer 5 cm belong to

Renal cell carcinoma is similar to TNM staging of prostate cancer and bladder cancer. If it is 5cm in diameter, it should be regarded as stage I according to clinical stage of renal cell carcinoma. Although the largest diameter line of tumor is 5cm, it is actually early stage I. As long as the diameter of kidney tumor does not exceed 7cm, it belongs to stage I of renal cell carcinoma, so 5 cm renal cell carcinoma is still clinical stage I, which is also very early renal cell carcinoma. After surgical treatment, the patient can be completely controlled, which can greatly improve the survival time of the patient and does not pose a threat to the survival of the patient.
