From the Guidelines
Bosniak 2 renal cysts should be managed with conservative follow-up rather than intervention, given their low risk of malignancy. The management approach for Bosniak 2 renal cysts prioritizes minimizing morbidity, mortality, and optimizing quality of life. Key considerations include:
- The low risk of malignancy associated with Bosniak 2 cysts, as indicated by studies such as 1, which highlights the importance of the Bosniak classification system in assessing the likelihood of malignancy in cystic renal masses.
- The role of imaging in surveillance, with modalities like ultrasound or CT scans recommended at intervals of 6-12 months initially, and potentially longer intervals if the cyst remains stable over time 1.
- The typical duration of follow-up, which is usually 3-5 years, but may be adjusted based on individual patient factors.
- The importance of patient education regarding the benign nature of these lesions and the necessity of adhering to the recommended follow-up schedule to monitor for any potential changes in cyst complexity.
- The absence of a need for medications or interventional procedures in the management of uncomplicated Bosniak 2 cysts, unless there is evidence of progression to a higher Bosniak category, which would necessitate a reevaluation of the management strategy. Given the information from 1, it's clear that the focus should be on careful surveillance rather than immediate intervention, balancing the need for monitoring with the potential risks and impacts on quality of life associated with more invasive procedures.
From the Research
Upravljanje Bubrega Cista Bosniak 2
- Bubreg ciste Bosniak 2 su kompleksne ciste koje zahtijevaju pažljivo praćenje i upravljanje kako bi se izbjegle nepotrebne operacije ili invazivne procedure [ 2 ].
- Studija objavljena u AJR. American journal of roentgenology (2003) pokazala je da praćenje CT skeniranjem može biti efektivan način upravljanja pacijentima s umjereno kompleksnim cističnim lezijama bubrega (Bosniak kategorija IIF) [ 2 ].
- Prema studiji objavljenoj u European radiology (2002), CT-vodeno biopsija i aspiracija mogu biti korisne u diferencijaciji malignih i benignih lezija, ali treba biti oprezan jer postoji rizik od netočnih dijagnoza [ 3 ].
Dijagnostika i Praćenje
- Kontrastno pojačano snimanje (CT, MRI ili ultrazvuk) se preporuča za praćenje cista Bosniak 2 [ 4 ].
- Studija objavljena u World journal of urology (2018) pokazala je da magnetska rezonanca (MRI) može biti korisna kao dodatna dijagnostička metoda u odlučivanju o upravljanju cistama Bosniak IIF-III [ 5 ].
Upravljanje i Liječenje
- Hirurška resekcija se preporuča za ciste Bosniak IV, dok se za ciste Bosniak 2 preporuča praćenje i upravljanje kako bi se izbjegle nepotrebne operacije [ 6 ].
- Studija objavljena u Progres en urologie (2009) preporuča hiruršku resekciju za cistične tumore, uz napomenu da je parcijalna nefrektomija preporučena za ove tipove tumora [ 4 ].
