| Description | The article presents a model case of an elderly patient with a small renal tumor and discusses possible treatment options. It follows the communication presented by specialists from various medical disciplines at the 6th year of "Komplexní novinky v onkourologii (KNOU21)" conference. The specific finding, the possible biological nature of the lesion, the natural course of the disease, the meaning, benefit and risks of active or delayed treatment and the specifics of the geriatric population require a critical look at current general recommendations and individualization of treatment strategy. Multidisciplinary approach with the subsequent discussion of all considered treatment options with the patient is absolutely crucial. |
