  • Title: The spectrum of renal cell carcinoma in adults.
    Author: Ananthakrishnan L, Kapur P, Leyendecker JR.
    Journal: Abdom Radiol (NY); 2016 Jun; 41(6):1052-65. PubMed ID: 27108133.
    Abstract:
    The spectrum of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) includes many neoplasms with distinct cytogenetics, biologic behaviors, and imaging appearances. The advent of molecular therapies targeting different tumor types, new insights into the relative roles of biopsy and surveillance for small incidental tumors, and a growing array of nephron-sparing interventions have altered management of RCC. Similarly, the role of the radiologist is changing, and it is becoming increasingly important for radiologists to familiarize themselves with the various types of RCC. This article introduces the reader to the common and uncommon recognized types of renal cell carcinoma and discusses how these neoplasms differ in imaging appearance and behavior.
