Nonneoplastic Kidney Diseases in the Setting of a Renal Mass

  • 2606 Accesses

Abstract

Early detection has led to significant gains in cancer-free survival rates for kidney cancer patients, and the preservation of renal function has emerged as an important objective. Diabetes and hypertension are important independent risk factors for the development of renal cell carcinoma, so the corresponding diabetic and/or hypertensive kidney injuries are commonly encountered. With the number of kidney cancer survivors approaching 350,000 in the USA, further gains in the clinical outcomes for kidney cancer can be achieved with additional attention on the harmful impact of nonneoplastic kidney diseases and improved coordination between urologists, nephrologists, and pathologists during the management of these patients.
