ABSTRACT
In the 1980s ultrasound and CT gradually replaced angiography as the primary diagnostic modalities for renal masses. From 1983 to 1988, a comparative diagnostic study was carried out on 24 patients with pathologically proven renal cell carcinoma which were staged by various methods. Staging was correct with computerized tomography in 75 per cent of the lesions (15 of 20), with ultrasound in 68.2 per cent (15 of 22) and angiography in 53.8 per cent (7 of 13). We conclude that at the present time CT is the optimal technique to stage renal cell carcinoma. Angiography should be used selected cases not adequately evaluated by CT or ultrasound.
