Volume 9, Number 2Review ArticlesUnderstanding the Natural Biology of Kidney Cancer: Implications for Targeted Cancer TherapyTreatment UpdateArie S BelldegrunAllan J PantuckTobias KlatteMark D KleidDuring the past several decades, there has been a significant increase in the understanding of the biology, clinical behavior, and prognostic factors of renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Such progress has led to greater sophistication in the diagnosis and classification of RCC. Here, we review recent advances in our knowledge of the biologic characteristics of RCC that have resulted in notable achievements in staging, prognosis, patient selection, and treatment.

Volume 13, Number 2Review ArticlesContemporary Management of Renal TraumaManagement UpdateJennifer J ShoobridgeNiall M CorcoranKatherine A MartinJim KoukounarasPeter L RoyceMatthew F BultitudeIn the management of renal trauma, surgical exploration inevitably leads to nephrectomy in all but a few specialized centers. With current management options, the majority of hemodynamically stable patients with renal injuries can be successfully managed nonoperatively. Improved radiographic techniques and the development of a validated renal injury scoring system have led to improved staging of injury severity that is relatively easy to monitor. This article reviews a multidisciplinary approach to facilitate the care of patients with renal injury.
