These tumors often show slow growth and can be safely monitored in selected cases. Studies demonstrate effective oncological control through active surveillance in elderly patients, particularly in those with low tumor progression and significant comorbidities. Histological subtype impacts growth behavior and metastatic potential. While a biopsy may help to avoid overtreatment, its value must be critically assessed in older patients. Surgical treatment, including partial and radical nephrectomy, remains associated with acceptable complication rates even in the very elderly, particularly in high-volume centers. However, studies show that surgical intervention does not necessarily confer a survival advantage in this population. Minimally invasive and ablative approaches, such as cryo- and microwave ablation, are gaining importance, especially in patients with increased frailty or impaired renal function. The use of geriatric assessments, particularly the G8 score, helps to identify vulnerable individuals and supports individualized treatment decisions. Age alone should not be a contraindication to oncological therapy but should prompt a careful risk-benefit assessment. The goal must be a personalized, risk-adapted therapeutic approach that balances quality of life, functional preservation, and oncological control.</p>","PeriodicalId":29782,"journal":{"name":"Urologie","volume":"65 10","pages":"1039-1049"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2026-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149115553","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Demographic change, workforce shortages, increasing financial pressure, digital transformation, and the political shift toward outpatient care are placing growing strain on both hospitals and private practices. To maintain comprehensive, high-quality care, structural changes are essential. This paper outlines how such a transformation can succeed through coordinated, cross-sectoral collaboration-by developing integrated care networks, hybrid surgical centers linked to hospitals, specialized emergency structures, and flexible employment and training models. Guided by the principle \"digital before outpatient before inpatient\", the goal is to establish a patient-centered, efficient, and future-oriented care system. Achieving this requires stable conditions, sustainable investment, reduced bureaucracy, digital interoperability, and continuous scientific evaluation. Only through joint efforts between hospitals and outpatient providers can this transformation be successfully achieved and urological care be secured for the future. With its broad clinical spectrum, strong professional networking, and established organizational structures, urology is particularly well positioned to take a leading role in developing cross-sectoral models of care.</p>","PeriodicalId":29782,"journal":{"name":"Urologie","volume":" ","pages":"1087-1093"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2026-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148346216","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
