Diagnostic accuracy of renal mass biopsy

Thanks to everyone who has contributed so far - we appreciate the support! Today I wanted to share a manuscript on kidney cancer that we published last week in the International Journal of Surgical Pathology. As I mentioned, although bladder cancer is a primary focus of ours, we also do research in other areas of genitourinary oncology, and I will highlight them here from time to time. In this study, we investigated the possibility of using renal biopsy as a preoperative means of kidney cancer diagnosis, to spare patients from having to undergo potentially unnecessary surgeries for kidney masses that may not even be malignant. Let me know if you have any questions! Later this week I will highlight our recently published work in the Journal of Clinical Urology entitled "Transurethral biopsy of the prostatic urethra is associated with final apical margin status at radical cystoprostatectomy."
