A member asked:
Very good morning doctors. is it afe to monitor a bosniak iv renal cyst or should it be surgically removed immediately?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Bosniak IV renal cyst is likely a malignant lesion. You can choose surveillance if the cyst is less than 4 cm. If you don't want surgery, especially total nephrectomy, you can request thermal ablation, which recently has been proved effective even with large lesion. If partial nephrectomy (nephron sparing surgery) is feasible, you should go for that. Good luck to your decision & trust your doctors
