Educational review highlights imaging techniques for RCC staging, emphasizing pitfalls and strategies for decision-making.

The central aim is to enhance the accuracy of renal cell carcinoma staging through multimodal imaging techniques.
Educational review focusing on multimodality imaging techniques for staging renal cell carcinoma.
Emphasis on interpretive pitfalls, particularly in local and regional staging assessments.
Proposes a structured reporting approach for improved communication within multidisciplinary teams.
Contrast-enhanced CT and MRI are foundational for local staging, assessing factors like tumour size and invasion.
Common pitfalls identified include misinterpretation of renal sinus and perinephric invasions and nodal assessment limitations.
Recommendations made for technical imaging enhancements and structured reporting to improve staging accuracy.

Withey et al. (2026) studied this question.
