The most effective method of treating patients with end stage renal disease is donor kidney transplantation. However, recipients of this group have an increased risk of developing malignant neoplasms, including renal cell carcinoma (RCC), which can be localized both in the recipient’s own kidneys and in the kidney transplant. Despite the development of transplantology, there is still heterogeneity in clinical recommendations for screening recipients for RCC, especially for the transplanted kidney. Also, the latest methods for diagnosing RCC, actively used in the population of non-transplanted patients, have been poorly studied in relation to kidney transplant tumors.
