Hi, i keep seeing people have an L score, can someone let me know what it is and why some peoole have it and some dont. Cant seem to find anything about it online.
Thanks
From the kidney cancer uk site:
The Leibovich score is used to predict a patient's risk of developing metastatic cancer after having removal of a whole kidney. This scoring system can help your medical team decide how best to manage a patient after surgery.
I don't have an L-score. But I'm metastatic so out-of-scope.
That makes sense as to why some have one and some dont, i had a partial so that explains why i didnt have one.
Thank you
