Abstract
Kidney cancer is a common genitourinary malignancy. The incidence of kidney cancer has progressively increased in the past few decades, with the greatest increase noted for incidentally discovered small renal masses. Along with the change in presentation and diagnosis of kidney cancer, surgical treatment of kidney cancer also has evolved dramatically during the past 5 decades, moving from universal use of radical extirpation to more frequent nephron-sparing and minimally invasive surgeries. This article reviews the contemporary management of localized kidney cancers and discusses the impact of surgery on oncologic and nononcologic outcomes.
