As our understanding has expanded that relatively large fraction of incidentally discovered
renal masses, especially in small size, are benign or indolent even if malignant, there is …

Detection of solid renal masses has increased in the last decades, although it has not
resulted in significant mortality reduction from renal cell carcinoma. Consequently, efforts for …

Solid renal masses (SRMs) are increasingly detected and encompass both benign and
malignant masses, with renal cell carcinoma (RCC) being the most common malignant …

Renal perfusion can be quantitatively assessed by multiple magnetic resonance imaging
(MRI) methods, including dynamic contrast enhanced (DCE), arterial spin labeling (ASL) …

Studies have shown that tumor angiogenesis is an essential process for tumor growth,
proliferation and metastasis. Also, tumor angiogenesis is an important prognostic factor of …

Renal tumors encompass a broad disease spectrum, from benign and indolent lesions to
aggressive and invasive malignancies. Imaging plays a critical role in the management of …

Purpose: Intratumoral heterogeneity (ITH) challenges the molecular characterization of clear
cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) and is a confounding factor for therapy selection. Most …

Tissue perfusion allows for delivery of oxygen and nutrients to tissues, and in the kidneys is
also a key determinant of glomerular filtration. Quantification of regional renal perfusion …

The incidence of renal cancer increased from 7.1 to 10.8 cases per 100,000 patients
between 1983 and 2002, with most primary tumors initially diagnosed as incidental small …

BACKGROUND. Dysregulated lipid and glucose metabolism in clear cell renal cell
carcinoma (ccRCC) has been implicated in disease progression, and whole tumor tissue …
