CONTEXT: The increasing incidence of localised renal cell carcinoma (RCC) over the last 3
decades and controversy over mortality rates have prompted reassessment of current …

Abstract Representing 2%-3% of adult cancers, renal cell carcinoma (RCC) accounts for
90% of renal malignancies and is the most lethal neoplasm of the urologic system. Over the …

Purpose: This AUA Guideline focuses on evaluation/counseling and management of adult
patients with clinically localized renal masses suspicious for cancer, including solid …

Background A growing body of retrospective literature is emerging regarding active
surveillance (AS) for patients with small renal masses (SRMs). There are limited prospective …

Background Partial nephrectomy (PN) is a preferred treatment for cT1 renal masses,
whereas thermal ablation represents an alternative nephron-sparing option, albeit with …

Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) accounts for 2%–3% of all adult malignancies, representing the
seventh most common cancer in men and the ninth most common cancer in women [1] …

Background Most reports of active surveillance (AS) of small renal masses (SRMs) lack
biopsy confirmation, and therefore include benign tumors and different subtypes of renal cell …

Background While the probability of malignant versus benign histology based on renal
tumor size has been described, this alone does not sufficiently inform decision-making in the …

Purpose: Active surveillance is emerging as a safe and effective strategy for the
management of small renal masses (4 cm or less). We characterized the growth rate and its …

Context Stage migration of organ-confined renal masses is occurring as a result of incidental
diagnosis, especially in the elderly. Active surveillance (AS) is gaining clinical traction as a …
