European Association of Urology Guidelines on Renal Cell Carcinoma: The 2022 Update

Borje Ljungberg et al.

Summary: The European Association of Urology has prepared evidence-based guidelines for the management of RCC, which were updated in 2022 using a standardized methodology. The guidelines provide transparent and reliable evidence for the management of RCC, based on a thorough literature assessment and clinical practice recommendations.

Renal Oncocytoma: The Diagnostic Challenge to Unmask the Double of Renal Cancer

Francesco Trevisani et al.

Summary: Renal oncocytoma is a common benign neoplasm that presents challenges in differential diagnosis and treatment due to its resemblance to malignant renal cancers. Percutaneous renal biopsy is not frequently performed, leading to most cases being diagnosed through surgical operations. New reliable strategies are needed to overcome this issue.

The impact of tumor size on the survival of patients with small renal masses: A population-based study

Yiming Tang et al.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate whether tumor growth in patients with small renal masses (SRMs) leads to tumor progression. The results showed a significant correlation between tumor size and all-cause mortality and cancer-specific mortality, with 2 cm being considered as a prognostically relevant size threshold for patients with T1a RCC. Due to the lack of accurate predictors of tumor growth rate, active surveillance for patients with SRMs incurs a risk of tumor progression.

Diagnosis and Treatment of Small Renal Masses: Where Do We Stand?

Jerez Izquierdo Tamara et al.

Summary: This review presents an overview of the current evidence-based studies on the diagnosis and management of SRM. Partial nephrectomy is considered the gold standard treatment, but new approaches such as active surveillance and ablative therapies are being increasingly used. Early diagnosis in elderly patients has improved due to better understanding of RCC and widespread use of imaging techniques. Treatment decisions should be based on patient and tumour characteristics.

Contrast-Enhanced Ultrasound (CEUS) in the Evaluation of Renal Masses with Histopathological Validation-Results from a Prospective Single-Center Study

Antonio Tufano et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the diagnostic accuracy of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) in distinguishing between malignant and benign renal lesions. The results showed that CEUS can effectively differentiate between malignant and benign lesions based on morphological, qualitative, and quantitative parameters. CEUS improves the accuracy of ultrasound diagnosis and can guide clinical treatment.

Clinicopathological features of non-conventional renal cell carcinoma histological subtypes: Learning points from a large contemporary series spanning over three decades

Ee Jean Lim et al.

Summary: This study retrospectively reviewed the clinicopathological features of patients with conventional and non-conventional renal cell carcinoma (cRCC and ncRCC), and found differences in their survival rates. The findings of this study have important implications for tailored patient counseling and healthcare resource planning.

Comparative study of CT and MRI appearances in mucinous tubular and spindle cell carcinoma and papillary renal cell carcinoma

Dajun Lu et al.

Summary: This study aimed to explore the feasibility of CT and MRI in differentiating MTSCC and PRCC, revealing differences in tumor characteristics such as size, cystic components, calcifications, hemorrhage, tumor boundaries, and enhancement patterns. MTSCC showed lower density, unclear boundaries, and lower enhancement compared to PRCC, with distinct MRI features including slightly hyperintense on T2WI for MTSCC and hypointense for PRCC.

Contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) imaging for active surveillance of small renal masses

Elena Bertelli et al.

Summary: In well-selected patients undergoing active surveillance, contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) imaging is a safe and effective strategy for monitoring small renal masses (SRM). The majority of SRMs showed no change in enhancement pattern over time, and there was no association between enhancement pattern and radiological progression or SRM size. Delayed intervention was performed in 27.2% of patients, who had significantly larger SRM size and growth rate compared to those continuing active surveillance.

Available active surveillance follow-up protocols for small renal mass: a systematic review

Giacomo Rebez et al.

Summary: In the follow-up strategies for renal masses under active surveillance, common protocols include imaging and clinical evaluation at 3, 6, and 12 months, with a median follow-up length of 42 months. Growth rate is the main parameter for evaluating disease progression, with CT scan being the most commonly used imaging method. Chest X-ray at each check does not seem to affect clinical outcomes.

Magnetic resonance diffusion kurtosis imaging in differential diagnosis of benign and malignant renal tumors

Summary: Diffusion kurtosis imaging (DKI) can serve as another noninvasive biomarker for the differential diagnosis of benign and malignant renal tumors. By comparing the values of MD, MK, KA, and RK, different types of renal tumors can be effectively distinguished.
