Renal Tumors Show Low and High Anatomic Complexity -- Personalized Treatment Benefits Kidney Cancer

Caption

Renal tumors show low and high anatomic complexity. Contrast-enhanced (a) axial and (b) coronal abdominal CT images in a 70-year-old man diagnosed with a right renal tumor (arrows) Nephrometry score of 4 indicated noncomplex tumor anatomy. In the setting of mild (stage 2) chronic kidney disease, the Renal Anatomy and Function for Indeterminate Renal Mass model results would favor partial nephrectomy. Axial (c) and coronal (d) CT images in a 70-year-old man diagnosed with a centrally located renal neoplasm (arrows). The nephrometry score of 10 indicated high anatomic complexity because of interpolar location and contact with the collecting system and renal hilar vessels.
