[The new classification of renal tumors--what is relevant for the practice?].
During recent years, the understanding of the histogenesis of renal tumors has been expanded by novel molecular findings. The classification of renal tumors is now based on specific molecular alterations. Further, novel tumor entities have been identified. The knowledge of these novel tumor entities has a dramatic influence on the selection of therapeutic strategies. Here, cases showing the relevance of molecular diagnostic methods for the classification of renal tumors are demonstrated. The current WHO classification of renal tumors is discussed on the basis of case reports.
