Burden of renal angiomyolipomas associated with tuberous sclerosis complex: results of a patient and caregiver survey
2018
Background
Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by benign tumors in multiple organs, including non-cancerous kidney lesions known as renal angiomyolipomas. This study’s objective is to describe the age-stratified morbidity, treatment patterns, and health-related quality of life of TSC patients with renal angiomyolipomas in the United States. A cross-sectional, anonymous web-based survey was conducted with a convenience sample of TSC patients and caregivers identified through a patient advocacy organization.
