title: Imaging and focal therapy in prostate and kidney cancer.
abstract: The advancement of imaging modalities in the past two decades has led to the increased incidence of small renal masses. This same technology is making nephron-sparing treatment of small renal masses much more feasible and precise. The goal of this manuscript is to review the currently available imaging modalities utilized in focal treatment and follow-up of small renal masses.
