[Small renal cell carcinoma- an update and management]. / Cancerul renal de mici dimensiuni--actualitati si management.

The detection of small renal cell carcinomas has increased after the introduction of ultrasonography (US) and computed tomography (CT) in the current practice. Their early detection has been extremely important for therapy and prognosis but has opened new diagnostic problems including differential diagnosis, surgical or non-surgical management and imaging follow-up. Small renal carcinomas can be either solitary or multiple, synchronous or metachronous. A synthetic review of incidence, clinical findings, imaging modalities and differential diagnosis of the small renal cell carcinoma will be presented.

[Is partial cystectomy a justified intervention in the treatment of bladder tumors?]. / Este cistectomia partiala o interventie justificata în tratamentul tumorilor vezicale?

The authors present their experience of 122 partial cystectomy cases made on a number of 288 vesical tumors in our clinic, during 5 years (1986-1991) from which 23 are superficial tumors and 99 are infiltrative ones. The treatment of vesical tumors can be done in many ways; this partial cystectomy must be completed with an other therapeutic method: irradiation on chemotherapy in conformity with the anatomo-pathological form, the steady and tumoral grading.
