Symptomatic and Incidental RCC Detection

In the Czech Republic, there is no screening program for renal cell carcinoma. Existing evidence suggests that incidental detection of this cancer tends to occur in its early stages, which are more manageable due to effective treatment options, ultimately reducing renal cancer mortality. This highlights the potential value of evaluating current imaging modalities and determining their role in secondary prevention. This cross-sectional study, based on hospital data, aims to contribute to a better understanding of this issue and to assess the effectiveness of imaging techniques in the early detection of renal cell carcinoma. Furthermore, data analysis may reveal the influence of risk factors on the detection of tumors at various stages.
