Overview
Ultrasound may be helpful in the diagnosis of renal cell carcinoma. Ultrasound (US) may be helpful when CT scan results are equivocal.
Ultrasound
Ultrasound may be helpful in the diagnosis of renal cell carcinoma when CT scan results are equivocal.[1]
| Patient Profile | Use of US | Evidence Strength |
| Low Risk Patient (pT1, N0, Nx) | US (or CT or MRI) may be performed in patients following radical nephrectomy if initial post-op baseline image is negative | C |
| Moderate to High Risk Patients (pT2-4N0 Nx or any stage N+) | Imaging, including US, may be used every 6 months (after a baseline chest and abdominal CT or MRI within 3-6 months following surgery) for at least 3 years and annually thereafter to 5 years. Site specific imaging is warranted by clinical symptoms suggestive of recurrence or metastatic spread. Imaging (US, CXR, CT, or MRI) beyond 5 years may be performed at the discretion of the clinician | C |
