Abstract
- With increasing emphasis on minimally invasive nephron-sparing techniques for treatment of renal tumors, image-guided percutaneous radiofrequency ablation (RFA) has emerged as a safe and effective method of tumor eradication that may be performed on an outpatient basis, with relatively low morbidity and mortality. This review addresses the clinical and technical considerations, risks, complications, and currently reported efficacy data pertaining to RFA of renal tumors, as well as the standardized approach to treatment and follow-up currently used in our practice.
