Kidney tumor biopsy is not indicated for all patients. For clear-cut diagnoses on CT/MRI scans, kidney tumor biopsy may not be needed and directly go for surgical removal of the tumor as early as possible. On the other hand, if a patient has a single kidney, renal compromise patient, or doubtful diagnoses on a CT/MRI scan, then a biopsy of the tumor may be done to confirm diagnoses before surgical removal. An unnecessary biopsy may delay the definitive treatment for a kidney tumor.
