Preoperative CT-derived renal tumor burden and postoperative renal function after partial nephrectomy: an exploratory analysis of KiTS23

Key takeaways

Researchers used CT scans to measure the size of kidney tumors before surgery. They found that a higher tumor burden was linked to lower kidney function after the operation. This is an observational study, so it shows a link, not proof of cause.
