Abstract:
Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is a cancer that mainly occurs in elderly patients. Percutaneous image-guided ablation of small RCC (< 4 cm) is a validated therapeutic option, especially as many patients are no candidates for surgery due to comorbidities. This article presents and discusses established local ablative techniques such as radiofrequency (RFA), microwave (MWA) and cryoablation for the treatment of small RCC based on current literature and in the context of the latest guidelines.
