The Canadian Cancer Society estimated 5900 new cases of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) and 1750 related deaths in Canada in 2012.1 RCC is the sixth and eleventh most common cancer diagnosed in Canadian men and women, respectively, and its incidence has been rising by about 2.3% per year, including the period from 2005 to 2009.2 Much of this rise is attributed to incidental detection via abdominal imaging for other causes. Most of these RCCs have been small renal masses (SRMs), defined as solid-appearing masses less than 4 cm in maximum diameter.3,4 Hereditary RCC syndromes are well-described, but account for a minority of incidental findings. Other wellrecognized risk factors include cigarette smoking, obesity, hypertension and chronic renal failure.5-7
