Imaging renal cell carcinoma - Abstract

Renal cell carcinoma is the eighth most common malignancy in adults and the most common malignancy in the kidney.

It is thus a very common disease for radiologists. This review aims to provide a general overview of the imaging techniques used to diagnose, characterize, and help plan the treatment of renal cell carcinoma as well as to review basic aspects related to staging, imaging-guided percutaneous treatment, and follow-up in the most common clinical scenarios.
