Context The incidental detection of localized renal masses has been rising steadily, but a
significant proportion of these tumors are benign or indolent and, in most cases, do not …

The widespread use of cross-sectional imaging has led to a continuous increase in the
number of incidentally detected indeterminate renal masses. Frequently, these clinical …

Background Solid small renal masses (SRMs)(≤ 4 cm) represent benign and malignant
tumors. Among SRMs, clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is frequently aggressive …

Simple Summary The incidence of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is increasing due to the
expansion of cross-sectional imaging and advanced imaging techniques. They allow for the …

Purpose To assess the diagnostic performance and interreader agreement of a
standardized diagnostic algorithm in determining the histologic type of small (≤ 4 cm) renal …

Purpose: Renal tumor biopsies have been proposed as a management alternative to avoid
treatment of benign or low risk small renal masses. However, many urologists are reluctant …

Objectives Solid renal masses have unknown malignant potential with commonly utilized
imaging. Biopsy can offer a diagnosis of cancer but has a high non-diagnostic rate and …

Active surveillance of renal masses, which includes serial imaging with the possibility of
delayed treatment, has emerged as a viable alternative to immediate therapeutic …

The incidence of small renal masses (SRM) is increasing around the world largely due to the
increasing use of abdominal imaging. 1, 2 Although 10–30% of these SRM are benign, the …

Simple Summary Current imaging techniques do not reliably distinguish renal cell
carcinoma from other renal diseases. This review summarizes recent advances in other …
