Individuals involved in the management of patients with small renal masses should acknowledge the role and the importance of active surveillance in older populations (aged >75 years) and minimally invasive ablative therapies. These new therapeutic strategies should be inculcated during medical training and practice so that they may become just as embedded as the emphasis on the oncologic outcome of standard treatment.
