Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) of stage T1a has been proven to be of low‐grade malignancy and mostly affects elderly individuals with relatively limited life expectancy. However, research on the survival benefit of surgery relative to non‐surgical treatment (NST) is limited. The aim of the study was to investigate the survival difference between partial nephrectomy (PN) and NST and to establish a benefit stratification model for elderly patients (≥70 years) diagnosed with T1a RCC.
