Cryoablation 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...

Small 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...

Watchful waiting for small renal masses.

Small renal masses (SRMs; < 4 cm in diameter) account for most renal tumors treated today. Incidental early detection of SRMs by abdominal imaging results in favorable grade and stage migration to renal cell carcinoma, and also increases detection of benign renal tumors. As a result, most SRMs manifest indolent biological behavior with excellent prognosis. Despite the increased use of minimally...

Active surveillance for small renal masses.

Small renal masses (SRMs; ≤ 4 cm in dimension) have rapidly risen in incidence in recent decades and pose an increasingly common management dilemma in urology. SRMs are biologically heterogeneous and a wide variety of treatments exist with favorable oncologic outcomes. Active surveillance (AS) has emerged as a viable option for those not desiring surgery or those who are suboptimal candidates f...

Management of Small Renal Masses

When we started to plan this special issue, we were under the thought that we are facing more and more cases of small renal masses in our daily work as urologists and pathologists. This common fact nowadays will probably increase in the near future as radiological studies are more frequently ordered and fortunately we face an increase in longevity, and also as people can get to detect their ren...
