OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the learning curve of robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) and laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (LPN) between two surgeons at a single institution.
BACKGROUND: Simple enucleation (SE) has proven to be oncologically safe. We describe the surgical steps and report the results of the Endoscopic Robotic-Assisted Simple Enucleation (ERASE) technique.
INTRODUCTION: Intrarenal tumors pose a unique challenge to surgeons due to the lack of visual cues on the kidney surface. Intraoperative ultrasonography has facilitated the management of these tumors during minimally invasive partial nephrectomy. We ...

PURPOSE: While immune checkpoint inhibition (ICI) has transformed the management of many advanced renal cell carcinomas (RCCs), the determinants of effective antitumor immunity for chromophobe RCC (ChRCC) and renal oncocytic tumors remain an unmet cl...

Nephrectomy, the surgical removal of a kidney, is a critical treatment for renal cancer, and predicting its likelihood can help guide clinical decision-making and optimize preoperative planning. This study utilized real-world electronic health record...
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this investigation is to assess the clinical usefulness of a machine learning model using contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) radiomics in discriminating clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) from non-ccRCC.
Purpose To assess the agreement between routine-dose (RD) and lower-dose (LD) contrast-enhanced CT scans, with and without Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine-based deep learning-based denoising (DLD), in evaluating small renal masses (SRM...

PURPOSES: This study aimed to develop a computed tomography (CT)-based multi-organ segmentation model for delineating organs-at-risk (OARs) in pediatric upper abdominal tumors and evaluate its robustness across multiple datasets.
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate and compare the diagnostic performance of CT texture analysis (CTTA), perfusion CT (PCT), and dual-energy CT (DECT) in distinguishing between clear-cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) and non-ccRCC.
