Abstract
This report considers the factors that predict the use of renal mass biopsy (RMB) for patients with clinical Stage T1 renal masses. The population consisted of 204 patients presenting at a single institution with a preference for RMB, and 38% underwent RMB as a part of their evaluation. The authors report that the strongest predictors of RMB were complicated anatomy according to the RENAL classification, juxtahilar location, or solitary kidney. As such, 1 of the main objectives of RMB in this series appeared to differentiate the operative approaches in cases with potentially challenging anatomy.
