OBJECTIVES

 

Primary study objectives:

 
  1. To assess the current patterns of surgical or instrumental treatment and indications for RCC treatment and treatment outcomes in terms of objective and subjective improvement.
 

Secondary study objectives:

 
  1. To assess the peri-operative morbidity (30 days) by using the Clavien score.
  2. To define risk factors for the development of peri-operative morbidity after instrumental treatment.
  3. To assess quality of life related to the different treatment modalities.
  4. To asses pathological characteristics of the renal masses
 
Eventually collection on long-term follow (5-10 years) up would be recommended to all participant centres. Long-term data can be used to correlate initial pathology and treatment modality with oncological outcome as well as to test the predictive ability of different staging systems (TNM / Risk systems)
