Application value of contrast-enhanced ultrasound in the preoperative evaluation of renal cell carcinoma histological classification and RENAL score
The conventional ultrasound and CEUS features may help differentiate ccRCC from nccRCC and have significant potential in scoring the complexity prior to surgery, which could provide more precise and valuable information for diagnosis and treatment. CEUS has the capacity to optimize the treatment plan in a noninvasive manner and improve the prognosis of patients and should thus be further verified in multicenter, large-cohort, prospective research.
