Surgical Management of Localized Disease and Small Renal Masses

Daniel S Carson et al. Hematol Oncol Clin North Am. 2023 Oct.

Abstract

The incidence of renal cancer has increased over the past several decades, but mortality has declined. This is thought to be related in part to earlier detection of renal masses which portend excellent 5-year survival rates. Management of small renal masses and localized disease include both nonsurgical and surgical options. The choice of intervention is ultimately based on comprehensive evaluation and shared decision-making. This article provides a comprehensive review of the current surgical management options for localized renal cancer.

Keywords: Partial nephrectomy; Radical nephrectomy; Renal cell carcinoma; Small renal mass.
