Effect of Renal Mass Biopsy on Subsequent Nephrectomy Outcomes: A Population-based Assessment
Reported outcomes following renal mass biopsy (RMB) have, to date, been limited to single-center studies reporting diagnostic rates and immediate post-procedural outcomes [1–3]. We assessed the effect of RMB on subsequent partial (PN) or radical nephrectomy (RN) outcomes using population-based data from the Institute for Clinical Evaluative Sciences.
