Abstract EN
Management of small renal masses (SRMs) is currently evolving due to the increased incidence given the ubiquity of cross-sectional imaging.
Diagnosing a mass in the early stages theoretically allows for high rates of cure but simultaneously risks overtreatment.
New consensus guidelines and treatment modalities are changing frequently.
The multitude of information currently available shall be summarized in this review.
This summary will detail the historic surgical treatment of renal cell carcinoma with current innovations, the feasibility and utility of biopsy, the efficacy of ablative techniques, active surveillance, and use of biomarkers.
We evaluate how technology may be used in approaching the small renal mass in order to decrease morbidity, while keeping rates of overtreatment to a minimum.
