Area of Science:
- Urology
- Surgical Oncology
Context:
- Growing interest in conservative surgery for renal adenocarcinoma.
- Advancements in renal imaging and surgical techniques.
- Increased incidental detection of early-stage kidney tumors.
Purpose:
- To evaluate the efficacy and safety of conservative surgery (enucleation) for renal adenocarcinoma.
