Abstract

Notwithstanding recent advances in our understanding of the genetics and biology of renal cell carcinoma (RCC), surgery remains the mainstay of curative treatment for this disease. Nevertheless, the role of traditional radical surgery is changing and nephronsparing surgery (NSS) has assumed an increasing role in the management of localized tumors. These newer concepts regarding treatment of localized RCC are the primary focus of this chapter.
