Background Most early stage kidney cancers are renal cell carcinomas (RCCs), and most
are diagnosed incidentally by imaging as small renal masses (SRMs). Indirect evidence …

Purpose : Thermal tissue ablation with radio frequency energy is an experimental treatment
of renal tumor. We report early results of an ongoing trial of percutaneous radio frequency …

Rationale: Birt-Hogg-Dubé syndrome (BHDS) is an autosomal, dominantly inherited
genodermatosis that predisposes to fibrofolliculomas, kidney neoplasms, lung cysts, and …

Purpose : Recently, a new renal cell cancer syndrome has been linked to germline mutation

Purpose : Hereditary papillary renal carcinoma (HPRC) is characterized by a predisposition
to multiple, bilateral papillary type 1 renal tumors caused by inherited activating missense …

PURPOSE: We review the long-term results of renal autotransplantation as a form of nephron
sparing renal denervation for patients with the loin pain-hematuria syndrome. MATERIALS …

Purpose : We conduct a critical evaluation of cryoablation of prostate cancer after failure of
full dose radiotherapy to identify predictors of treatment failure and complications. Materials …

Background Most reports of active surveillance (AS) of small renal masses (SRMs) lack
biopsy confirmation, and therefore include benign tumors and different subtypes of renal cell …

BACKGROUND: The optimum treatment of prostate cancer recurrence following radiation
therapy (RT) remains controversial due to the lack of long-term data. OBJECTIVE: Our aim was …

Objectives. To define use of the Internet for self-education by a cohort of patients with prostate
