Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the utility of multiphase computed tomography (CT) and percutaneous renal mass biopsy (PRMB) in differentiating between papillary renal cell carcinoma (pRCC)-Type 1 and -Type 2, as emerging data have suggested differential enhancement patterns in different renal tumor histologies. MATERIAL AND METHODS Retrospective analysis of 51 patients (23 pRCC-Type 1/28 pRCC-Type 2) who underwent multiphase CT followed by surgery from July 2011 to April 2016 was performed. Data were analyzed between subgroups based on histology. Multiphase CT was analyzed for tumor size, and attenuation [Hounsfield Units (HU)]. Change in HU (ΔHU) was calculated between noncontrast (NC), corticomedullary (CM), nephrographic (N), and delayed (D) phases. Subset analysis was carried out on patients who underwent PRMB prior to surgery. RESULTS There was no difference in median tumor size (pRCC-Type 1 2.8 vs. pRCC-Type 2 2.6 cm, p=0.832). In addition to tumor size being similar between groups, distribution of tumor stages between groups was also similar (p=0.651). Greater proportion of high-grade tumors (III/IV) was noted in pRCC-Type 2 (42.9% vs. 8.7%) (p=0.011). There was no difference in HU values for NC (p=0.961), CM (p=0.118), N (p=0.277), and D (p=0.256) phases, and in ΔHU between CM-NC (p=0.278), N-NC (p=0.316), and D-NC (p=0.103). Thirteen patients underwent percutaneous biopsy, 11 of whom had diagnostic samples. Examination of 10/11 (90.9%) samples accurately predicted correct histology, and of 6/11 (54.5%) samples correctly identified high-vs. low-grade histology. CONCLUSION Our findings suggest substantial overlap of CT findings, despite pRCC-Type 2 having greater proportion of high-grade tumors. Utility of CT is limited in the differentiation between pRCC subtypes. Patients with suggested pRCC on CT imaging being considered for a non-extirpative strategy should undergo PRMB for risk stratification.

Abstract
The increase in serendipitous detection of solid renal masses on imaging has not resulted in a reduction in mortality from renal cell carcinoma. Consequently, efforts for improved lesion characterization have been pursued and incorporated into management algorithms for distinguishing clinically significant tumors from those with favorable histology or benign conditions. Although diagnostic imaging strategies have evolved for optimized lesion detection, distinction between benign tumors and both indolent and aggressive malignant neoplasms remain an important diagnostic challenge. Recent advances in cross-sectional imaging have expanded the role of these tests in the noninvasive characterization of solid renal tumors.

Identification and Validation of Radiographic Enhancement for Reliable Differentiation of CD117(+) Benign Renal Oncocytoma and Chromophobe Renal Cell Carcinoma. Clin Cancer Res 2018; 24:3898-3907. [PMID: 29752278 DOI: 10.1158/1078-0432.ccr-18-0252] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/22/2018] [Revised: 03/23/2018] [Accepted: 05/07/2018] [Indexed: 12/13/2022]
Abstract
Purpose: The diagnostic differential for CD117/KIT(+) oncocytic renal tumor biopsies is limited to benign renal oncocytoma versus chromophobe renal cell carcinoma (ChRCC); however, further differentiation is often challenging and requires surgical resection. We investigated clinical variables that might improve preoperative differentiation of CD117(+) renal oncocytoma versus ChRCC to avoid the need for benign tumor resection.Experimental Design: A total of 124 nephrectomy patients from a single institute with 133 renal oncocytoma or ChRCC tumors were studied. Patients from 2003 to 2012 comprised a retrospective cohort to identify clinical/radiographic variables associated with renal oncocytoma versus ChRCC. Prospective validation was performed among consecutive renal oncocytoma/ChRCC tumors resected from 2013 to 2017.Results: Tumor size and younger age were associated with ChRCC, and multifocality with renal oncocytoma; however, the most reliable variable for ChRCC versus renal oncocytoma differentiation was the tumor:cortex peak early-phase enhancement ratio (PEER) using multiphase CT. Among 54 PEER-evaluable tumors in the retrospective cohort [19 CD117(+), 13 CD117(-), 22 CD117-untested], PEER classified each correctly as renal oncocytoma (PEER >0.50) or ChRCC (PEER ≤0.50), except for four misclassified CD117(-) ChRCC variants. Prospective study of PEER confirmed 100% accuracy of renal oncocytoma/ChRCC classification among 22/22 additional CD117(+) tumors. Prospective interobserver reproducibility was excellent for PEER scoring (intraclass correlation coefficient, ICC = 0.97) and perfect for renal oncocytoma/ChRCC assignment (ICC = 1.0).Conclusions: In the largest clinical comparison of renal oncocytoma versus ChRCC to our knowledge, we identified and prospectively validated a reproducible radiographic measure that differentiates CD117(+) renal oncocytoma from ChRCC with potentially 100% accuracy. PEER may allow reliable biopsy-based diagnosis of CD117(+) renal oncocytoma, avoiding the need for diagnostic nephrectomy. Clin Cancer Res; 24(16); 3898-907. ©2018 AACR.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To explore the biological function and mechanism of miR-199a-3p in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (CCRCC). METHODS We investigated the expression of miR-199a-3p in CCRCC through quantitative reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). Over expression of miR-199a-3p was performed in CCRCC cell lines, and cell growth curve, colony formation capacity, cell invasion, wound healing and cell apoptosis assay were used for investigating the roles of miR-199a-3p in CCRCC. RESULTS The expression of miR-199a-3p in CCRCC tissues was significantly lower than that in para-carcinoma tissues. Functional assay showed that over expression of miR-199a-3p influenced cell growth, colony formation, cell invasion, cell migration and cell apoptosis in CCRCC cell lines. CONCLUSIONS Our work suggested that miR-199a-3p was related to cell growth, colony formation, cell invasion, cell migration and cell apoptosis, which might act as a tumor suppressor in CCRCC.

Utility of Pelvic CT for Surveillance of T2-T4 Renal Cell Carcinoma After Nephrectomy With Curative Intent. AJR Am J Roentgenol 2018; 210:1088-1091. [PMID: 29489406 DOI: 10.2214/ajr.17.18898] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 11/18/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to determine whether routine pelvic imaging is necessary during postoperative surveillance of pathologic T2-T4 renal cell carcinoma after nephrectomy for curative intent. MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective single-institution cohort study with 603 subjects undergoing partial or radical nephrectomy of T2-T4 renal cell carcinoma with curative intent was conducted from January 1, 2000, through December 31, 2015. Clinical and imaging (CT or MRI) follow-up findings were evaluated in a prospectively maintained registry to determine the timing and location of recurrent and metastatic disease. The primary outcome was the proportion of subjects with positive or equivocal findings in the pelvis and negative findings in the chest and abdomen. Binomial CIs were calculated and compared with a prespecified minimum detection threshold of 5%. RESULTS The T category distribution was as follows: T2 (28.9% [174/603]), T3 (70.3% [424/603]), and T4 (0.8% [5/603]). Most (81.8% [493/603]) of the patients underwent radical nephrectomy, and 27.0% (163/603) had recurrence or metastasis (mean time to first recurrence, 600 ± 695 days). Pelvic imaging findings were negative in 97.0% (585/603) of cases. Four subjects (0.7% [95% CI, 0.2-1.7%]) had isolated positive findings in the pelvis (p < 0.0001 vs the 5% threshold). Two (0.3% overall [95% CI, 0.04-1.1%]) of these positive findings were in subjects who did not have symptoms. CONCLUSION Routine pelvic imaging of patients undergoing surveillance for asymptomatic T2-T4 renal cell carcinoma after nephrectomy performed with curative intent has minimal value and probably should not be performed.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Once used primarily in the identification of renal metastasis and lymphomas, various urological bodies are now adopting an expanded role for the renal biopsy. We sought to evaluate the role of the renal biopsy in a Canadian context, focusing on associated adverse events, radiographic burden, and diagnostic accuracy. METHODS This retrospective review incorporated all patients undergoing ultrasound (US)/computed tomography (CT)-guided biopsies for T1 and T2 renal masses. There were no age or lesion size limitations. The primary outcome of interest was the correlation between initial biopsy and final surgical pathology. A binomial logistic regression analysis was conducted to determine any confounding factors. Secondary outcomes included the accuracy of tumour cell typing, grading, the safety profile, and radiographic burden associated with these patients. RESULTS A total of 148 patients satisfied inclusion criteria for this study. Mean age and lesions size at detection were 60.9 years (±12.4) and 3.6 cm (±2.0), respectively. Most renal masses were identified with US (52.7%) or CT (44.6%). Three patients (2.0%) experienced adverse events of note. Eighty-six patients (58.1%) proceeded to radical/partial nephrectomy. Our biopsies held a diagnostic accuracy of 90.7% (sensitivity 96.2%, specificity 87.5%, positive predictive value 98.7%, negative predictive value 70.0%, kappa 0.752, p<0.0005). Binomial logistic regression revealed that age, lesion size, number of radiographic tests, time to biopsy, and modality of biopsy (US/CT) had no influence on the diagnostic accuracy of biopsies. CONCLUSIONS Renal biopsies are safe, feasible, and diagnostic. Their role should be expanded in the routine evaluation of T1 and T2 renal masses.

Abstract
Purpose To assess the diagnostic performance and interreader agreement of a standardized diagnostic algorithm in determining the histologic type of small (≤4 cm) renal masses (SRMs) with multiparametric magnetic resonance (MR) imaging. Materials and Methods This single-center retrospective HIPAA-compliant institutional review board-approved study included 103 patients with 109 SRMs resected between December 2011 and July 2015. The requirement for informed consent was waived. Presurgical renal MR images were reviewed by seven radiologists with diverse experience. Eleven MR imaging features were assessed, and a standardized diagnostic algorithm was used to determine the most likely histologic diagnosis, which was compared with histopathology results after surgery. Interreader variability was tested with the Cohen κ statistic. Regression models using MR imaging features were used to predict the histopathologic diagnosis with 5% significance level. Results Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (RCC) and papillary RCC were diagnosed, with sensitivities of 85% (47 of 55) and 80% (20 of 25), respectively, and specificities of 76% (41 of 54) and 94% (79 of 84), respectively. Interreader agreement was moderate to substantial (clear cell RCC, κ = 0.58; papillary RCC, κ = 0.73). Signal intensity (SI) of the lesion on T2-weighted MR images and degree of contrast enhancement (CE) during the corticomedullary phase were independent predictors of clear cell RCC (SI odds ratio [OR]: 3.19; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.4, 7.1; P = .003; CE OR, 4.45; 95% CI: 1.8, 10.8; P < .001) and papillary RCC (CE OR, 0.053; 95% CI: 0.02, 0.2; P < .001), and both had substantial interreader agreement (SI, κ = 0.69; CE, κ = 0.71). Poorer performance was observed for chromophobe histology, oncocytomas, and minimal fat angiomyolipomas, (sensitivity range, 14%-67%; specificity range, 97%-99%), with fair to moderate interreader agreement (κ range = 0.23-0.43). Segmental enhancement inversion was an independent predictor of oncocytomas (OR, 16.21; 95% CI: 1.0, 275.4; P = .049), with moderate interreader agreement (κ = 0.49). Conclusion The proposed standardized MR imaging-based diagnostic algorithm had diagnostic accuracy of 81% (88 of 109) and 91% (99 of 109) in the diagnosis of clear cell RCC and papillary RCC, respectively, while achieving moderate to substantial interreader agreement among seven radiologists. © RSNA, 2018 Online supplemental material is available for this article.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Small renal masses (SRMs) with evidence of clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) are understudied. Current algorithms for the management of SRMs include surgical resection, ablation, and active surveillance. We sought to identify genomic biomarkers that could potentially refine the management of ccRCC in SRMs, especially in patients being evaluated for active surveillance. METHODS We identified patients who had SRMs (4cm or less) at time of surgery, had sequencing performed on their primary tumor and had a diagnosis of ccRCC. Patients were selected from 3 publicly available cohorts, The Cancer Genome Atlas (n = 110), University of Tokyo (n = 37), The International Cancer Genome Consortium (n = 31), and from our own institutional prospective database (n = 25). Among this cohort we analyzed mutations present in at least 5% of tumors, assessing for the enrichment of mutations and progression-free survival using the composite endpoint of recurrence or death of disease. Analysis was adjusted for multiple testing. A Cox regression model was used to assess clinical variables with significant mutations. RESULTS In total, 203 patients were available for analysis. Median follow-up was 43.1 months among survivors. Mutations in VHL, PBRM1, SETD2, BAP1, KDM5C, and MTOR were present in more than 5% of tumors. Twenty-three patients (11.3%) had recurrence or died of their disease. Mutations in KDM5C were associated with inferior survival from either recurrence or death from disease, adjusted P 0.033. CONCLUSIONS We identified mutations in SRMs in ccRCC that are associated with recurrence and lethality. The strongest association was seen in those with KDM5C mutations. Use of these genomic biomarkers may improve stratification of patients with SRMs and for those who may be appropriate for active surveillance. Prospective evaluation of these markers is needed.

Abstract
It is critically important to define disease-specific research priorities to better allocate limited resources. There is growing recognition of the value of involving patients and caregivers, as well as expert clinicians in this process. To our knowledge, this has not been done this way for kidney cancer. Using the transparent and inclusive process established by the James Lind Alliance, the Kidney Cancer Research Network of Canada (KCRNC) sponsored a collaborative consensus-based priority-setting partnership (PSP) to identify research priorities in the management of kidney cancer. The final result was identification of 10 research priorities for kidney cancer, which are discussed in the context of current initiatives and gaps in knowledge. This process provided a systematic and effective way to collaboratively establish research priorities with patients, caregivers, and clinicians, and provides a valuable resource for researchers and funding agencies.

Abstract
Purpose To evaluate the clinical safety and natural history of active surveillance (AS) for incidentally diagnosed small renal mass (SRM). Materials and Methods We analyzed prospective data for patients who underwent AS for SRM. From 2010 to 2016, 37 SRMs of less than 3 cm were registered. Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging were used for initial diagnosis and CT, ultrasonography, and chest CT were performed at 6-month intervals. If there was no change in size during 2 years, follow-ups were performed annually. If the growth rate was more than 0.5 cm/y, if the diameter was more than 4 cm, or if clinical progression was observed, we regarded it as progression of SRM and recommended active treatment. We compared the growth rate and clinical course of SRM between patients who remained on surveillance and those who had progressed disease. Results The mean age was 63 years (range, 30–86 years) and the mean diameter was 1.8 cm (range, 0.6–2.8 cm) at diagnosis. The mean follow-up period was 27.3 months (range, 6–80 months) and the average growth rate was 0.2 cm/y (range, 0–1.9 cm/y). Six patients (16.2%) showed progression of SRM. Three patients wanted continuous observation, and partial nephrectomy was performed on 3 other patients. None of the patients had clinical progression, including metastasis. Conclusions We could delay active treatment for patients with an SRM with scheduled surveillance if the SRM grew relatively slowly. If more long-term AS results are documented for more patients, AS could be an alternative treatment modality for SRM.

Correlation of 99mTc-sestamibi uptake in renal masses with mitochondrial content and multi-drug resistance pump expression. EJNMMI Res 2017; 7:80.

Abstract
Background 99mTc-sestamibi single-photon emission computed tomography/computed tomography (SPECT/CT) has recently been explored for the characterization of indeterminate renal masses. As judged by increased intra-tumoral radiotracer uptake, we have previously reported the excellent diagnostic performance characteristics of this test for identifying benign/indolent oncocytomas and hybrid oncocytic/chromophobe tumors (HOCTs). In this study, we investigated potential molecular mechanisms underlying the discriminatory ability of 99mTc-sestamibi SPECT/CT for renal masses. Fifty renal masses imaged with 99mTc-sestamibi SPECT/CT prior to surgical resection were evaluated by immunohistochemistry for mitochondrial content and expression of the multi-drug resistance pump 1 (MDR1/P-gp). Immunohistochemical staining was scored semi-quantitatively, and results were compared across renal tumor histologies and correlated with 99mTc-sestamibi uptake. Results In total, 6/6 (100%) and 2/2 (100%) HOCTs demonstrated strong mitochondrial content staining combined with low MDR1 staining. Clear cell renal cell carcinoma showed an opposite pattern with the majority having low mitochondrial (14/26, 54%) and high MDR1 staining (18/26, 69%). Other tumor types were more variable in staining pattern, although the staining pattern reliably predicted 99mTc-sestamibi uptake in almost all tumors except chromophobe renal cell carcinoma. Conclusions Our findings confirm that renal tumors with high mitochondrial content and relatively low MDR pump expression activity accumulate 99mTc-sestamibi and allow for the accurate diagnosis of the benign/indolent tumor class that includes oncocytomas and HOCTs. For masses in which MDR activity outweighs the presence of mitochondria, the tumors appear cold on 99mTc-sestamibi SPECT/CT, allowing for high confidence in the diagnosis of renal cell carcinoma.

Abstract
The increasing use of cross-sectional imaging has led to an increase in the diagnosis of incidental small renal masses (SRMs). About 20% of such masses are benign, while a significant proportion of malignant SRMs demonstrate slow growth kinetics and non-aggressive histologic features. Given these characteristics, lesions that were traditionally treated surgically are increasingly managed with less aggressive approaches. Further contributing to the evolving management paradigm is accumulating evidence supporting the safety of active surveillance and the efficacy of percutaneous renal mass biopsy in guiding management decisions. This review first discusses the epidemiology and diagnostic work-up of SRMs. The available management options are then examined, with emphasis placed on the clinical factors considered in selecting an appropriate approach. The existing evidence and long-term outcomes of each strategy are discussed. Finally, an overview of the current paradigm for the management of a patient with a SRM is provided. The goal is to provide physicians with the necessary understanding to appropriately manage this increasingly common condition.

Abstract
Partial nephrectomy is the optimal surgical approach in the management of small renal masses (SRMs). Focal ablation therapy has an established role in the modern management of SRMs, especially in elderly patients and those with comorbidities. Percutaneous ablation avoids general anaesthesia and laparoscopic ablation can avoid excessive dissection; hence, these techniques can be suitable for patients who are not ideal surgical candidates. Several ablation modalities exist, of which radiofrequency ablation and cryoablation are most widely applied and for which safety and oncological efficacy approach equivalency to partial nephrectomy. Data supporting efficacy and safety of ablation techniques continue to mature, but they originate in institutional case series that are confounded by cohort heterogeneity, selection bias, and lack of long-term follow-up periods. Image guidance and surveillance protocols after ablation vary and no consensus has been established. The importance of SRM biopsy, its optimal timing, the type of biopsy used, and its role in treatment selection continue to be debated. As safety data for active surveillance and experience with minimally invasive partial nephrectomy are expanding, the role of focal ablation therapy in the treatment of patients with SRMs requires continued evaluation.

Abstract
Renal cell carcinoma accounts for 3-4% of adult malignant neoplasms and over 65,000 new cases of kidney cancer were diagnosed in the USA in 2013 [1, 2]. Widespread use of abdominal imaging is leading to an increased incidence in the detection of small renal masses (SRMs) among other causes [1-4]. In light of recent literature on the role of percutaneous renal mass biopsy and retrospective data analysis, surveillance for renal masses ≤4 cm is likely to become more common especially in patients with less aggressive pathology, advanced age and multiple medical comorbidities.

Abstract
Renal masses are diagnosed with an increasing frequency. However, a significant proportion of these masses are benign, and the majority of malignant tumors are biologically indolent. Furthermore, renal tumors are often harbored by the elderly and comorbid patients. As such, matching of renal tumor biology to appropriate treatment intensity is an urgent clinical need. Renal mass biopsy is currently a very useful clinical tool that can assist with critical clinical decision-making in patients with renal mass. Yet, renal mass biopsy is associated with limitations and, as such, may not be appropriate for all patients.

Abstract
PURPOSE The detection of small renal masses is increasing with the use of cross-sectional imaging, although many incidental lesions have negligible metastatic potential. Among malignant masses clear cell renal cell carcinoma is the most prevalent and aggressive subtype. A method to identify such histology would aid in risk stratification. Our goal was to evaluate a likelihood scale for multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging in the diagnosis of clear cell histology. MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the records of patients with cT1a masses who underwent magnetic resonance imaging and partial or radical nephrectomy from December 2011 to July 2015. Seven radiologists with different levels of experience who were blinded to final pathology findings independently reviewed studies based on a predefined algorithm. They applied a clear cell likelihood score, including 1-definitely not, 2-probably not, 3-equivocal, 4-probably and 5-definitely. Binary classification was used to determine the accuracy of clear cell vs all other histologies. Interobserver agreement was calculated with the weighted κ statistic. RESULTS A total of 110 patients with 121 masses were identified. Mean tumor size was 2.4 cm and 50% of the lesions were clear cell. Defining clear cell as scores of 4 or greater demonstrated 78% sensitivity and 80% specificity while scores of 3 or greater showed 95% sensitivity and 58% specificity. Interobserver agreement was moderate to good with a mean κ of 0.53. CONCLUSIONS A clear cell likelihood score used with magnetic resonance imaging can reasonably identify clear cell histology in small renal masses and may decrease the number of diagnostic renal mass biopsies. Standardization of imaging protocols and reporting criteria is needed to improve interobserver reliability.

Abstract
PURPOSE To define important elements of a structured radiology report of a CT or MRI performed to evaluate an indeterminate renal mass. METHODS IRB approval was waived for this multi-site prospective quality improvement study. A 35-question survey investigating elements of a CT or MRI report describing a renal mass was created through an iterative process by the Society of Abdominal Radiology Disease-Focused Panel on renal cell carcinoma. Surveys were distributed to consenting abdominal radiologists and urologists at nine academic institutions. Consensus within and between specialties was defined as ≥70% agreement. Respondent rates were compared with Chi Square test. RESULTS The response rate was 68% (117/171; 55% [39/71] urologists, 78% [78/100] radiologists). Inter-specialty consensus was that the following were essential: mass size with comparison to prior imaging, mass type (cystic vs. solid), presence of fat, presence of enhancement, and radiologic stage. Urologists were more likely to prefer the Nephrometry score (75% [27/36] vs. 22% [17/76], p < 0.0001), quantitative reporting of enhancement on CT (85% [32/38] vs. 46% [36/77], p < 0.0001), and mass position with respect to the renal polar lines (67% [24/36] vs. 36% [27/76], p = 0.002). There was inter-specialty consensus that the Bosniak classification for cystic masses was preferred. Most urologists (60% [21/35]) preferred management recommendations be omitted for solid masses or Bosniak III-IV cystic masses. CONCLUSIONS Important elements to include in a CT or MRI report of an indeterminate renal mass are critical diagnostic features, the Bosniak classification if relevant, and the most likely specific diagnosis when feasible; including management recommendations is controversial.

Abstract
Detection of solid renal masses has increased, although it has not resulted in significant mortality reduction from renal cell carcinoma. Efforts for improved lesion characterization have been pursued and incorporated in management algorithms, in order to distinguish clinically significant tumors from favorable or benign conditions. Concurrently, imaging methods have produced evidence supporting their role as useful tools not only in lesion detection but also characterization. In addition, newer modalities, such as contrast-enhanced ultrasonography, and advanced applications of MR imaging, are being investigated. This article reviews the current role of different imaging methods in the characterization of solid renal masses.

Abstract
To estimate the proportion of oncocytic renal neoplasms diagnosed on renal mass biopsy (RMB) confirmed on surgical pathology, a systematic review of MEDLINE, Embase, and the Cochrane databases (1997 to 1 July 2016) was conducted quantifying all cases of reported oncocytic renal neoplasms on RMB suggestive of an oncocytoma. In addition, institutional data was assessed to identify additional cases. Concordance with surgical histopathology (positive predictive value [PPV]) was evaluated for patients undergoing surgery by performing a meta-analysis. In all, 10 RMB series, including institutional data, were included in the meta-analysis with 205 RMBs identifying oncocytic renal neoplasms and 46 (22.4%) proceeding to surgery. One additional study identified two neoplasms not captured by the primary RMB series for a total of 48 unique lesions included in the analysis. Surgical pathology showed oncocytoma (64.6%), chromophobe renal cell carcinoma (RCC; 12.5%), other RCC (12.5%), hybrid oncocytic/chromophobe tumour (6.3%), and other benign lesions (4.2%). PPV of oncocytoma on RMB was 67% (95% confidence interval 34-94%) with significant heterogeneity between studies (I2 = 71.8%, P < 0.01). Risk of bias was judged to be low for four of the 10 series. Confidently diagnosing a localised renal mass as a benign lesion, such as an oncocytoma, has implications for the ultimate management strategy a patient will undergo. RMB was found to be unreliable in confidently diagnosing a localised renal mass as an oncocytoma, with one in four found to be RCC on surgical pathology. Patients and physicians should be aware of the uncertainty in diagnosis when considering management strategies.

Abstract
Purpose To provide recommendations for the management options for patients with small renal masses (SRMs). Methods By using a literature search and prospectively defined study selection, we sought systematic reviews, meta-analyses, randomized clinical trials, prospective comparative observational studies, and retrospective studies published from 2000 through 2015. Outcomes included recurrence-free survival, disease-specific survival, and overall survival. Results Eighty-three studies, including 20 systematic reviews and 63 primary studies, met the eligibility criteria and form the evidentiary basis for the guideline recommendations. Recommendations On the basis of tumor-specific findings and competing risks of mortality, all patients with an SRM should be considered for a biopsy when the results may alter management. Active surveillance should be an initial management option for patients who have significant comorbidities and limited life expectancy. Partial nephrectomy (PN) for SRMs is the standard treatment that should be offered to all patients for whom an intervention is indicated and who possess a tumor that is amenable to this approach. Percutaneous thermal ablation should be considered an option if complete ablation can reliably be achieved. Radical nephrectomy for SRMs should only be reserved for patients who possess a tumor of significant complexity that is not amenable to PN or for whom PN may result in unacceptable morbidity even when performed at centers with expertise. Referral to a nephrologist should be considered if chronic kidney disease (estimated glomerular filtration rate < 45 mL/min/1.73 m2) or progressive chronic kidney disease occurs after treatment, especially if associated with proteinuria.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess the national trends in treatment of localized renal tumors among older patients with limited life expectancy. MATERIALS AND METHODS Using the National Cancer Database, we identified older patients (≥70y) diagnosed with T1 renal cell carcinoma from 2002 to 2011. Primary outcome was the initial treatment-partial nephrectomy (PN), radical nephrectomy, EM, and ablation. Multivariable logistic regression analysis stratified by tumor size (<2, 2-3.9, or 4-7cm) and age groups (70-79 and ≥80y) was used to identify covariates associated with different treatments. RESULTS Among 41,518 older patients with T1 renal cell carcinoma renal tumors, most were treated with radical nephrectomy (59.0%) followed by PN (20.0%) and ablation (8.4%). Only 12.6% were managed by EM. Among older patients aged 70 to 79 years with renal tumors 2 to 3.9cm, PN was used more frequently in 2008 to 2009 (odds ratio [OR] = 1.32; P = 0.001) and 2010 to 2011 (OR = 1.87; P<0.001) compared to 2002 to 2003 and at academic hospitals (OR = 1.91; P<0.001) compared to community hospitals. Similar trends were observed for patients aged 70 to 79 years with 4 to 7cm tumors and for patients aged≥80 years across renal tumor sizes. CONCLUSIONS Among older patients with localized renal tumors and limited life expectancy, most are treated surgically with a growing use of PN. A smaller proportion of older patients are managed by EM in the United States.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To validate, in a multi-institution review, the safety, accuracy and reliability of renal tumour biopsy (RTB) and its role in decreasing unnecessary treatment. MATERIALS AND METHODS We conducted a multi-institution retrospective study of patients who underwent RTB to characterize a small renal mass (SRM) between 2011 and May 2015. Patients were identified using the prospectively maintained Canadian Kidney Cancer information system. Diagnostic and concordance rates were presented using proportions, whereas factors associated with a diagnostic RTB were identified using a logistic regression model. RESULTS Of the 373 biopsied SRMs, the initial biopsy was diagnostic in 87% of cases. Of the 47 non-diagnostic biopsies, 15 had a repeat biopsy of which, 80% were diagnostic. When both were combined, therefore, a diagnosis was obtained in 91% of SRMs. Of these, 18% were benign. Size was the only factor found to be associated with achieving a diagnostic biopsy. RTB histology and nuclear grade (high or low) were found to be highly concordant with surgical pathology (86 and 81%, respectively). Of the discordant tumours (n = 16), all were upgraded from low to high grade on surgical pathology. Adverse events were rare (<1% of cases). CONCLUSION The present multi-institution study confirms that RTB of SRMs is safe, accurate and reliable across institutions, while decreasing unnecessary treatment. Given our findings, RTBs may be a helpful tool with which to triage SRMs and guide appropriate management.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To review our clinical T1a renal mass active surveillance (AS) cohort to determine whether renal mass biopsy was associated with maintenance of AS. MATERIALS AND METHODS From our prospectively maintained database we identified patients starting AS from June 2009 to December 2011 who had at least 5 months of radiologic follow-up, unless limited by unexpected death or delayed intervention. The primary outcome was delayed intervention. Clinical, radiologic, and pathologic variables were compared. We constructed Kaplan-Meier survival curves for maintenance of AS. Cox multivariable regression analysis was performed to assess predictors of delayed intervention. RESULTS We identified 118 patients who met criteria for inclusion with a median radiologic follow-up of 29.5 months. The delayed intervention group had greater initial mass size and faster growth rate compared to those who continued AS. Rate of renal mass biopsy was similar between the 2 groups. In the multivariable analysis, size >2 cm (hazard ratio [HR] 3.65, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.28-10.38, P = .015), growth rate (continuous by mm/year: HR 1.26, 95% CI 1.12-1.41, P < .001), but not renal biopsy (HR 1.52, 95% CI 0.70-3.30, P = .29), were associated with increased risk of delayed intervention. Time-to-event curves also showed that size was closely associated with delayed intervention whereas renal mass biopsy was not. CONCLUSION At our institution, growth rate and initial tumor size appear to be more influential than renal mass biopsy results in determining delayed intervention after a period of AS. Further analysis is required to determine the role of renal biopsy in the management of patients being considered for AS.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The purpose is to discuss current data on the utilization and outcomes of active surveillance for T1a renal masses. Specifically, to address which patients are optimal for active surveillance and how their outcomes differ from those undergoing immediate treatment. RECENT FINDINGS Although nephron sparing surgery is the standard of care for small renal masses (SRMs), active surveillance is becoming a more popular intervention given the results of prospective studies revealing active surveillance to be safe and have excellent cancer-specific survival with intermediate follow-up. Older and sicker patients have competing risk of death from other causes when diagnosed with a SRM. SUMMARY Active surveillance is becoming a more popular treatment modality for SRMs given the increasing number of incidental diagnoses and better understanding of their often indolent course. Active surveillance with delayed intervention is a well-tolerated treatment modality and appears to have the most benefit for those patients that are older with more comorbidities.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the correlation between CT findings and histologic grade of small clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). METHODS CT scans of 101 patients with small ccRCC were reviewed independently by two radiologists for tumor size, shape, margin, encapsulation, enhancement pattern, and visual relative enhancement. Enhancement patterns were defined according to the percentage of uniform enhancement [pattern 1, homogeneous (≥90%); pattern 2, relatively homogeneous (≥75 and <90%); and pattern 3, heterogeneous (<75%)]. Quantitative parameters representing attenuation and degree of enhancement were calculated. Histologic grade was classified as low (Fuhrman grade I or II) and high (Fuhrman grade III or IV). CT imaging variables were analyzed using univariate and multivariate analyses. RESULTS A total of 63 low-grade and 38 high-grade small ccRCCs were assessed. Low-grade tumors differed from high-grade tumors with respect to enhancement pattern 1 or 2 (p < 0.001 and p < 0.001), smaller size (p = 0.002 and p = 0.001), and lower attenuation on unenhanced scan (p < 0.001 and p = 0.008). In multivariate analysis, enhancement pattern 1 or 2 and low attenuation (≤30 HU) were identified as independent predictors of low-grade ccRCC. Accuracy derived from logistic regression analysis was 79.2% for reader 1 and 70.3% for reader 2. CONCLUSIONS CT imaging features including tumor attenuation and enhancement pattern can be useful to predict the biologic behavior of small ccRCC for adequate treatment strategy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare the accuracies of renal mass biopsy (RMB) and R.E.N.A.L. nephrometry score (RNS) nomograms for predicting benign vs malignant disease, and low- vs high-risk renal tumors. MATERIALS AND METHODS We included 281 renal masses in 277 patients who had complete RNS, preoperative RMB, and final pathology from renal surgery for clinically localized renal tumors. RMB and final pathology were determined to be benign or malignant, and malignancies were classified as low-risk (Fuhrman grade I/II) or high-risk (Fuhrman grade III/IV) (benign included in low-risk group). Previously published RNS nomograms were used to determine probabilities of any cancer and high-risk cancer. The gamma statistic was used to assess strength of association between RMB or RNS with final pathology. RESULTS Of the 281 masses, 13 (5%) and 268 (95%) were confirmed benign and malignant, respectively, and 155 (55%) and 126 (45%) were confirmed low-risk and high-risk, respectively, on final pathology. The areas under the curve of the RNS nomograms for benign vs malignant disease and for low-risk vs high-risk renal tumors were 0.56 and 0.64, respectively. Concordances for predicting benign vs malignant disease were 99% for RMB (P < .01, gamma 0.99) and 29% for RNS nomogram (P = .16, gamma 0.38). Concordances for predicting low-risk vs high-risk renal tumors were 67% for RMB (P < .01, gamma 0.97) and 61% for RNS nomogram (P < .01, gamma 0.47), respectively. CONCLUSION Although RNS nomograms are useful for discriminating between benign vs malignant renal masses, and low-risk vs high-risk renal tumors, they are outperformed by RMB.

Abstract
Active surveillance is an increasingly accepted treatment modality for select patients with small renal masses. The DISSRM (delayed intervention and surveillance for small renal masses) registry is a multi-institutional, prospectively collected data repository which includes patients who select active surveillance for their small renal masses, as well as others who select immediate intervention. Preliminary results from the registry suggest oncological equivalence of active surveillance and surgical modalities in the intermediate term. Additionally, the registry provides the first published data regarding trends in renal function among patients undergoing active surveillance. On average, these patients experience a decline in renal function, and their renal functional outcomes are superior to those of patients undergoing radical nephrectomy, but do not significantly differ from those of patients undergoing partial nephrectomy.
