Table 1_Hong Kong Urological Association–Hong Kong Society of Uro-Oncology 2025 consensus

Hong Kong and Asia-Pacific clinicians developed 42 consensus statements on managing locally advanced and metastatic renal cell carcinoma. The statements were established via a Delphi process with a panel of 14 experts and an 80% voting threshold. The document updates previous guidelines with new areas like adjuvant therapy, immunotherapy combinations, and definitions for oligometastatic disease.

Use Cases

• Benchmarking local treatment protocols against the consensus statements based on the 42 accepted recommendations.
• Informing clinical decision support systems based on the updated guidelines for adjuvant therapy and immunotherapy combinations.
• Structuring literature reviews on RCC management based on the five defined clinical areas (e.g., oligometastatic RCC, non-clear cell histology).
• Training medical students and residents on contemporary standard-of-care approaches for advanced RCC based on the expert panel findings.

Strengths

• Contains 42 specific, voted-upon consensus statements providing clear clinical guidance.
• Developed by a panel of 14 experts (6 urologists, 8 clinical oncologists) using a structured Delphi method.
• Statements require an 80% acceptance threshold from a five-point Likert scale, indicating strong panel agreement.
• Explicitly updates previous guidelines and adds new therapeutic areas like belzutifan and active surveillance.

Limitations

• The dataset is a 709.7 KB DOCX document; its structured data content (e.g., tables, voting results) requires manual extraction.
• Row count and column-level documentation are unknown, limiting automated analysis suitability.
• Geographic focus is explicitly on Hong Kong and the Asia-Pacific region, which may limit generalizability.
