Inclusion criteria

For the characteristic group:

• Diagnosis of renal cell carcinoma (International Classification of Diseases 10th revision [ICD]-10:64) during 01 January 2010 and 31 December 2021

For the mRCC group:

• ICD-10 diagnosis code for metastasis (C77*-C79*), or
• American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) stage 4, or AJCC stage data potentially not available for all patients
• Visit to oncologist (specialty code 65) with RCC as main diagnosis, or In Finland, the ICD-10 codes for metastatic disease are rarely used. In contrast, RCC patients visit oncologist, when and only when disease metastasises and therefore, the visit can be used as a proxy to a metastatic disease
• Initiation of treatment for mRCC

For the characteristic group:

• Prevalent mRCC patients (i.e. diagnosis of metastatic RCC before 01 January 2010)
• Prevalent mRCC patients (i.e. diagnosis of RCC before 01 January 2010) if there is no records of metastatic disease during 2010-2021
