The decline of radical nephrectomy: Contemporary trends in the treatment of T1 renal cell carcinoma. [PDF]

BJUI Compass
Abstract Introduction The diagnosis of small renal masses is becoming increasingly common. Management recommendations are shifting from radical nephrectomy (RN) toward nephron‐sparing options such as partial nephrectomy (PN), thermal ablation (TA), and active surveillance (AS). This study aims to present current treatment trends in the USA for treating
