Nurse-led renal cell cancer follow up is a safe, reliable and effective clinical framework that has significant benefits in regard to resource utilization. USS and CXR are ineffective in detecting recurrence and Computerized tomography (CT) should be considered the imaging modality of choice for this purpose. The EAU surveillance protocol appears superior to our protocol, and we have therefore transitioned to the EAU guideline protocol going forward.
