We consider the problem of renal mass risk classification to support doctors in adjuvant treatment decisions following nephrectomy. Recommendation of adjuvant therapy based on the mass appearance poses two major challenges: first, morphologic pattern...
PURPOSE: To create a computer-aided prediction (CAP) system to predict Wilms tumor (WT) responsiveness to preoperative chemotherapy (PC) using pre-therapy contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT).

Partial nephrectomy, the gold standard treatment for renal tumors, is performed with clamping of the renal arteries, in order to interrupt the blood flowing towards the tumor. However, the temporary interruption of arterial flow may lead to ischemia ...
BACKGROUND: The SPARE Nephrometry Score (NS) is described as easier to implement than the RENAL and PADUA NSs, currently more widely used. Our objective was to compare the accuracy of SPARE NS in predicting renal function outcomes following RAPN.
Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) accounts for more than 90% of cases of malignant kidney tumors and represents 2-3% of all malignancies worldwide. Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC), the most common type of RCC, comprising 70-80% of cases. RCC most co...
PURPOSE: This study investigated the oncological and functional surgical outcomes for patients with renal tumor who underwent robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (PN) by a single surgeon in Taiwan from 2006 to 2019.
Nephron-sparing surgery is the standard treatment for small renal mass (SRM). Nephron-sparing surgery has evolved from an open to a minimally invasive technique. Robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) is the latest technique in this field and is r...
BACKGROUND: Robot-assisted partial nephrectomy can be performed through either a transperitoneal or retroperitoneal approach. This study aimed to compare the rate of trifecta achievement between retroperitoneal (RRPN) and transperitoneal (TRPN) robot...
