Article Synopsis
- Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is common among kidney transplant candidates, and annual ultrasounds can help detect it early.
- A study reviewed data from 2642 patients, finding that 71 had RCC, most identified during initial evaluations rather than annual checks.
- Findings indicated that male gender and being African-American increased RCC risk, but early detection through surveillance led to similar survival rates for RCC patients and those with benign cystic diseases.
