| Summary |
Clinical Management of Renal Tumors provides an in-depth review of the data relating to the management of renal tumors as well as an updated description regarding pathologic and molecular classification of renal tumors. The neoplasms covered include clear cell carcinomas, papillary cancers, nonepithelial tumors, and other mass lesions that resemble tumors. The management of patients with renal cancer having localized or advanced disease are discussed. Surgical approaches for primary and metastatic tumors, symptom palliation, and systemic therapy for metastatic disease including immunotherapy and targeted approaches are discussed in detail |
