Brief Summary:
Retrospective studies indicate that active surveillance for clinically localized, small renal masses (cT1a, <=4cm) is safe. It is our hypothesis that active surveillance is safe and efficacious when compared prospectively to patients undergoing immediate intervention for their small renal mass.

Condition or disease
Kidney Neoplasm

Detailed Description:
All patients are offered active surveillance or immediate intervention, as applicable, prior to being offered consent for the DISSRM Registry. All patients are enrolled and followed prospectively. Surveillance patients are followed per protocol with serial imaging, blood work and quality of life questionnaires. Intervention patients are followed at the discretion of the attending surgeon with serial QOL appointments/questionnaires.

Group/Cohort
Active Surveillance
Immediate Intervention
May include patients undergoing open or minimally-invasive partial nephrectomy, radical nephrectomy or energy ablation.
Crossover (Delayed Intervention)
Initially patients in active surveillance that meet progression criteria or elect to undergo delayed intervention.


Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Groups and Cohorts Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Disease-specific survival [ Time Frame: 5 years ]
    Safety and Efficacy of active surveillance and delayed intervention for the SRM, measured by disease-free survival at 5-years.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Objective Safety and Tolerability of Percutaneous Renal Biopsy [ Time Frame: 5 years ]
    Measured by observed total (minor and major) complications compared to historical complication rates for this procedure.

  2. Quality-of-life outcomes for patients undergoing AS versus definitive therapy. [ Time Frame: 5 years ]
    Measured by SF12 Questionnaire at enrollment, 6 and 12 months and annually thereafter.

  3. To determine objective selection criteria for active surveillance. [ Time Frame: 5 years ]
    Demographic (i.e. age, sex, race), clinical (i.e. comorbidities, medications, family history) and imaging characteristics (i.e. tumor size, enhancement patterns, tumor complexity) will be used to determine patients most suitable for active surveillance.
