Managing small renal masses poses a common and controversial problem. Although radical nephrectomy is still the most common treatment, partial nephrectomy is the new gold standard, and thermal ablation or active surveillance are reasonable for some patients. Renal mass biopsy with molecular profiling will likely allow for more rational treatment in the near future.
处理小的肾肿瘤是一个常见且具有争议的问题。虽然根治性肾切除术仍然是最常见的治疗方法，但部分肾切除术是新的金标准，对于某些患者，热消融或主动监测也是合理的。通过对肾肿瘤进行分子谱分析的活检，在不久的将来可能会使治疗更加合理。
