• The risk of progression is higher in patients with RENAL and mRENAL score > 6.5, in T1b tumors, close to the collective system (< 4 mm), crossing polar lines and anterior location. • The significant prognostic ability of the mRENAL score for progression was higher than the respective of the RENAL score. • Complications were not associated with any of the above factors.
