Abstract

With a worldwide incidence of approximately 200,000 new cases and a mortality of 102,000 patients each year renal cell carcinoma (RCC) accounts for approximately 4% of cancer incidence and 2% of cancer mortality. Over the last decades the incidence of RCC has risen, largely due to the widespread use of cross-sectional imaging. Incidentally found small renal masses (SRMs,
