Context Stage migration of organ-confined renal masses is occurring as a result of incidental
diagnosis, especially in the elderly. Active surveillance (AS) is gaining clinical traction as a …

Context A marked increase in incidentally detected small renal masses (SRMs) has
occurred over the past decade. Active surveillance (AS) has emerged as an initial …

Purpose: Active surveillance is emerging as a safe and effective strategy for the
management of small renal masses (4 cm or less). We characterized the growth rate and its …

Background The purpose of this study was to analyze the image heterogeneity of clear-cell
renal-cell carcinoma (ccRCC) by computer tomography texture analysis and to provide new …

Increased abdominal imaging has led to the significant incidental detection of clinically
localized renal tumors. While the gold standard remains surgical excision, no demonstrable …

Purpose To evaluate follow-up strategies for active surveillance of renal masses and to
assess contemporary data. Methods We performed a comprehensive search of electronic …

Purpose To examine the ability of computed tomography radiomic features in multivariate
analysis and construct radiomic model for identification of the the WHO/ISUP pathological …

Positron emission tomography (PET) is currently the most advanced technique of metabolic
imaging available for tumor diagnosis and follow-up. The aim of this study was to examine …

Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is among the 10 most common cancers in women and men with
an estimated 62,700 new cases and 14,240 deaths expected in 2016. 1 Due in part to …

Abstract Purpose of Review To review the growth kinetics of small renal masses and
available imaging modalities for mass characterization and surveillance, highlight current …
