Led by Stella K. Kang, a radiologist with the Department of Radiology at the New York School of Medicine, the study was designed to compare the effectiveness of a treatment algorithm for small renal tumors incorporating the nephrometry score, a renal tumor anatomy scoring system developed by urologists, with the current standard of uniformly recommended partial nephrectomy in patients with mild - to - moderate chronic kidney disease (CKD).

To determine whether expression of PD - L1 in nephrectomy specimens can be used as a surrogate for expression in the sites of metastases (and vice versa), we examined the correlation of marker expression (mean AQUA scores for all four cores) between the matched specimens using the Pearson correlation test.
