title: [To-day clinical features of kidney tumours: a review of 160 cases (author's transl)].
abstract: 160 cases of neoplasm of the kidney in the adult are reviewed, with regard to to-day knowledge of problems not yet resolved in the field both of diagnosis and treatment. As diagnosis is concerned, the primary role of angiography is confirmed, though the alternative and/or complementary role of ultrasounds and densitometry cannot be overlooked. As for treatment, the primary choice seems to remain surgery, in which regard a new meaning of radicality and operability is on way to develop, due to improvement of diagnostic means and, in lesser grade, of complementary treatments.
