Current Status of Renal Biopsy for Small Renal Masses
Small renal masses (SRMs) are defined as radiologically enhancing renal masses of less than 4 cm in maximal diameter. The incidence of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) has increased in recent years, which is mainly due to the rise in incidental detection of localized SRMs. However, the cancer-specific mortality rate is not increasing. This discrepancy may be dependent on the indolent nature of SRMs. ...
متن کاملThe Current Status of Renal Cryoablation for Treatment of Small Renal Masses
Recent advances in imaging technology have led to increased detection of Small Renal Masses (SRMs). Nephron-Sparing Surgery (NSS) is considered the gold-standard treatment for most SRMs, but renal cryoablation is recommended in certain comorbid populations. The current literature indicates cryoablation offers similar long-term outcomes and decreased perioperative complication rates compared to ...
متن کاملCryoablation for Small Renal Masses
Advances in imaging techniques (CT and MRI) and widespread use of imaging especially ultrasound scanning have resulted in a dramatic increase in the detection of small renal masses. While open partial nephrectomy is still the reference standard for the management of these small renal masses, its associated morbidity has encouraged clinicians to exploit the advancements in minimally invasive abl...
متن کاملRenal Tumor Biopsy for Small Renal Masses: A Single-center 13-year Experience.
BACKGROUND Renal tumor biopsy (RTB) for the characterization of small renal masses (SRMs) has not been widely adopted despite reported safety and accuracy. Without pretreatment biopsy, patients with benign tumors are frequently overtreated. OBJECTIVE To assess the diagnostic rate of RTBs, to determine their concordance with surgical pathology, and to assess their impact on management. DESIG...
متن کاملSmall renal masses
Small renal masses are increasingly diagnosed incidentally. This results in management dilemma because at histopathology significant numbers of small renal masses are either benign tumors such as angiomyolipoma (AML) or oncocytoma, or are neoplasms with relatively indolent behavior [1]. Surgical treatments such as partial and total nephrectomy although provide excellent oncologic control is ass...
