ACR Appropriateness Criteria Renal Cell Carcinoma Staging.
Renal cell carcinoma accounts for 2%-3% of all visceral malignancies. Preoperative imaging can provide important staging and anatomic information to guide treatment decisions. Size of the primary tumor and degree of local invasion, such as involvement of perinephric fat or renal sinus fat, and tumor thrombus in renal veins and inferior vena cava are important detriments to local staging of prim...
متن کاملPositron emission tomography in urologic oncology.
BACKGROUND Positron emission tomography (PET) is an emerging imaging modality that is being investigated for use in urologic oncology. PET scanning using the radioactive glucose analog FDG has proven to be a highly accurate imaging test for diagnosing and staging a variety of non-urologic cancer types. This review was performed to determine the role of PET imaging in genitourinary malignancies....
متن کاملMagnetic Resonance Imaging as a Biomarker for Renal Cell Carcinoma
As the most common neoplasm arising from the kidney, renal cell carcinoma (RCC) continues to have a significant impact on global health. Conventional cross-sectional imaging has always served an important role in the staging of RCC. However, with recent advances in imaging techniques and postprocessing analysis, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) now has the capability to function as a diagnostic...
متن کاملMetastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma: Staging and Prognosis of Three
This paper describes the staging, imaging, treatment, and prognosis of renal cell carcinoma. Three case studies are presented on three separate patients with renal cell carcinoma. Each patient shows specific staging, imaging and treatment of renal cell carcinoma, but all demonstrate different metastases to other areas of the body. Each patient was at a higher stage of cancer, but depending on t...
متن کاملIn vivo imaging of cellular proliferation in renal cell carcinoma using 18F-fluorothymidine PET
Objective(s): The ability to measure cellular proliferation non-invasively in renal cell carcinoma may allow prediction of tumour aggressiveness and response to therapy. The aim of this study was to evaluate the uptake of 18Ffluorothymidine (FLT) PET in renal cell carcinoma (RCC), and to compare this to 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG), and to an immunohistochemical measure of cellular proliferatio...
