Adverse Pathologic Characteristics in the Small Renal Mass

Peter Schulam MD, PhD, emphasizes the importance of staging renal tumors based on weighted risk, including risk of metastases, histologic subtypes, and adverse pathologic characteristics, and not simply mass size. This is essential to consider when selecting patients for active surveillance or intervention.
