Role of collateral vessels on contrast-enhanced computed tomography in predicting metastatic potential for small renal cell carcinoma

Abstract Background The presence of collateral vessels (CVs) on contrast-enhanced computed tomography is a poor prognostic factor in renal cell carcinoma (RCC), but its value in small RCC (sRCC; < 4 cm) remains unknown. In this study, we investigated whether presence of CVs is a predictor of high...
