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...

Although surgical excision is the standard of therapy for small renal masses (SRMs), there is a growing recognition of active surveillance as an option in select patients who are poor surgical candidates or who have shorter life expectancy. A number of patients on expectant management, however, subsequently advance to definitive therapy. In this study, we systematically reviewed the literature ...

Methods: The author analyzed the international literature since 2000 that deals with biopsy of renal masses, which involved more than 1000 patients. He reports also on his own experience. Results: The accuracy of renal biopsy to...
متن کاملSolid renal masses in adults
With the ever increasing trend of using cross-section imaging in today's era, incidental detection of small solid renal masses has dramatically multiplied. Coincidentally, the number of asymptomatic benign lesions being detected has also increased. The role of radiologists is not only to identify these lesions, but also go a one step further and accurately characterize various renal masses. Ear...
