Screening for renal cell carcinoma

(CLOSED)

A screening program for renal cell carcinoma (RCC) consisting of focused renal ultrasound may improve survival outcomes through early detection and treatment. The established abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) NHS screening program, consisting of a single aortic ultrasound for men aged 65 years, represents an ideal vehicle to explore the possibility of screening for RCC due to the similarities in risk factors and mode of detection between RCC and AAA.
