Abstract Representing 2%-3% of adult cancers, renal cell carcinoma (RCC) accounts for
90% of renal malignancies and is the most lethal neoplasm of the urologic system. Over the …

Characterization of renal tumors is critical to determine the best therapeutic approach and
improve overall patient survival. Because of increased use of high-resolution cross-sectional …

As our understanding has expanded that relatively large fraction of incidentally discovered
renal masses, especially in small size, are benign or indolent even if malignant, there is …

Functional imaging [diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) and dynamic contrast enhancement
(DCE)] techniques combined with T2-weighted (T2W) and chemical-shift imaging (CSI), with …

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 …

Purpose: The detection of small renal masses is increasing with the use of cross-sectional
imaging, although many incidental lesions have negligible metastatic potential. Among …

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

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 wide availability of cross-sectional imaging is responsible for the increased detection of
small, usually asymptomatic renal masses. More than 50% of renal cell carcinomas (RCCs) …
