Clinicopathological features and prognosis of synchronous bilateral renal cell carcinoma: an international multicentre experience

An interesting group of papers in this section is headed by two papers on synchronous bilateral renal tumours, one from an international group of authors and one from Germany. The large series of patients are examined carefully by both groups, and the findings should be useful for all who are interested in this area.
