Renal tumor ablation

Current Opinion in Urology, 2005
The management of small renal tumors is changing from radical nephrectomy to nephron-conserving surgery. The aim of this review is to discuss the currently prevailing methods used for nonextirpative renal tumor ablation. The studies published in English during 2004 to May 2005 have been reviewed in this article.Of the various ablation techniques ...

Ablation of Kidney Tumors

Surgical Oncology Clinics of North America, 2011
While surgical excision remains the gold standard for curative treatment of small renal cell carcinomas, ablative therapy has a place as a minimally invasive, kidney function-preserving therapy in carefully selected patients who are poor candidates for surgery.

Hepatic Tumor Ablation

Surgical Clinics of North America, 2016
Tumor ablation is a safe and effective treatment available in the multidisciplinary care of the surgical oncology patient. The role of ablation is well established in the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma and is becoming more accepted in the treatment of various malignancies metastatic to the liver, in particular colorectal cancer.

Hepatic Tumor Ablation

Surgical Clinics of North America, 2010
Ablation of liver tumors is part of a multimodality liver-directed strategy in the treatment of various tumors. The goal of ablation is complete tumor destruction, and ultimately improvement of quality and quantity of life for the patient. Technology is evolving rapidly, with important improvements in efficacy.

Radiofrequency ablation of renal tumors

European Radiology, 2004
Percutaneous thermal ablation is increasingly applied in the therapy of renal tumors. Various techniques are available, allowing a safe and accurate therapy of renal tumors either using hyperthermia such as radiofrequency ablation (RFA), laser-induced thermotherapy (LITT) and microwave ablation (MW) or by hypothermia (cryoablation). As thermal ablation

Factors Limiting Complete Tumor Ablation by Radiofrequency Ablation

CardioVascular and Interventional Radiology, 2007
The purpose of this study was to determine radiological or physical factors to predict the risk of residual mass or local recurrence of primary and secondary hepatic tumors treated by radiofrequency ablation (RFA). Eighty-two patients, with 146 lesions (80 hepatocellular carcinomas, 66 metastases), were treated by RFA.

Thermal Ablation of Lung Tumors

Techniques in Vascular and Interventional Radiology, 2007
Thermal ablation can be applied to treat any thoracic malignancy: primary lung cancers, recurrent primary lung cancers, metastatic disease, chest wall masses, and painful, bony metastases. Since the first reported use of thermal ablation for lung cancer in 2000 there has been an explosive use of the procedure, and by 2010 the number of procedures to ...

Cryosurgical ablation of hepatic tumors

The American Journal of Surgery, 1997
Cryosurgical ablation of hepatic tumors relies on nonspecific tissue necrosis due to freezing as well as microvascular thrombosis. Patients with selected primary and metastatic hepatic malignancies who are not candidates for surgical resection are afforded potentially curative benefit using this technique.Forty patients underwent cryosurgery for ...

Percutaneous Lung Tumor Ablation

Techniques in Vascular and Interventional Radiology, 2013
Percutaneous thermal ablation is a minimally invasive treatment for primary or secondary malignancies of the lung. Currently, 3 different modalities are available: radiofrequency, microwave, and cryoablation. Radiofrequency ablation remains to date the most developed although the other 2 modalities have their own distinct advantages.
