description

Current treatment options for clinical stage T1 renal tumors, in patients with a contralateral healthy kidney, are diverse. The first guidelines for the management of these lesions have recently been published, which state that tumor size and health status of the patient are important factors to consider. The inclusion of tumor location, patient age and major comorbidities might strengthen these guidelines in the future.
