Abstract

Renal tumors are a highly heterogenous group of tumors which makes their diagnosis increasingly complicated. The use of molecular and genetic techniques has resulted not only in the improvement of classification and differential diagnosis, but has also led to a better understanding of the biological behavior of these tumors.

The increasing use of targeted therapy makes precise diagnosis of each lesion important and in the future it may become a crucial tool for the selection of proper treatment.
