Despite substantial advances in the imaging-based diagnosis of renal masses, the
increased detection of incidental renal masses with cross-sectional imaging poses problems …

Purpose: The incidence of renal cell carcinoma is increasing due to the incidental detection
of small renal masses. Resection, predominantly by nephron sparing surgery, remains the …

BACKGROUND. The incidence of renal cell carcinoma is rising because of incidental
detection of small renal masses (SRMs). Although surgical resection remains the standard of …

Retinoblastoma clinical observations revealed the role of tumor suppressor genes in human
cancer, Knudson's 'two-hit'model of cancer induction. We now demonstrate that loss of both …

Purpose: Percutaneous biopsy of small renal tumors has not been historically performed
because of concern about complications and accuracy. We reviewed our experience with …

OBJECTIVE: Modern imaging modalities increase the detection of small (≤ 4cm) renal
tumors, of which about 20% are benign. As a result, minimal invasive treatments, such as …

Purpose: We determined the safety and accuracy of preoperative needle core biopsy for
diagnosing benign lesions among small incidental asymptomatic renal masses. Materials …

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate gender differences in initial presentation, pathology, and outcomes
with renal cell carcinoma (RCC). MATERIALS AND METHODS: The 1973–2004 …

Purpose: We identify and report on a large number of patients treated with active
surveillance for incidentally diagnosed renal masses at our institution. Materials and …

To perform a feature analysis of malignant renal tumors evaluated with magnetic resonance
(MR) imaging and to investigate the correlation between MR imaging features and …
