Short-term efficacy of temperature-based radiofrequency ablation of small renal tumors
Abstract
OBJECTIVES: To present our experience using radiofrequency ablation (RFA) for the treatment of small renal tumors. Our objective was to assess the short-term (1 to 3 years) oncologic efficacy of RFA.
METHODS: Consecutive renal tumors treated since May 2001 with a minimal follow-up of 6 months were included. Patients were treated with a temperature-based radiofrequency generator and were followed up with serial imaging at 6 weeks, 3 and 6 …
