Description
Łukasz Lisak and co-authors wrote a 2025 review on whether needle biopsy should shape care for small kidney tumors. Kidney cancer ranks among the more common cancers in the world. Small masses in the kidney are often found by chance on scans, and not all of them need the same path of care.
The review asks what role biopsy can play in the next decade for these small masses. A tissue sample can show if a mass is cancer and what type it is before teams pick surgery, watchful checks, or other care. The authors weigh that gain against the limits and risks of the test. Their aim is to guide choices for patients whose scans raise a small, unclear mass.
