Oncologic Efficacy of CT-Guided Percutaneous Radiofrequency Ablation of Renal Cell Carcinomas

Abstract

CT-guided percutaneous radiofrequency ablation is a safe method to treat small RCCs. This study indicates that radiofrequency ablation can reliably eradicate RCCs smaller than 3.7 cm. Treatment of larger RCCs will result in an increased risk of residual RCC.
