Li KP, Wan S, Chen SY, Wang CY, Liu SH, Yang L. Perioperative, functional and oncologic outcomes of percutaneous ablation versus minimally invasive partial nephrectomy for clinical T1 renal tumors: outcomes from a pooled analysis. J Robot Surg 2024; 18:306. [PMID: 39105944 DOI: 10.1007/s11701-024-02052-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/20/2024] [Accepted: 07/15/2024] [Indexed: 08/07/2024]
Abstract
The objective of this study was to perform a comprehensive pooled analysis aimed at comparing the efficacy and safety of percutaneous ablation (PCA) versus minimally invasive partial nephrectomy (MIPN), including robotic and laparoscopic approaches, in patients diagnosed with cT1 renal tumors. We conducted a comprehensive search across four major electronic databases: PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library, targeting studies published in English up to April 2024. The primary outcomes evaluated in this analysis included perioperative outcomes, functional outcomes, and oncological outcomes. A total of 2449 patients across 17 studies were included in the analysis. PCA demonstrated superior outcomes compared to MIPN in terms of shorter hospital stays (WMD: - 2.13 days; 95% Confidence Interval [CI]: - 3.29, - 0.97; p = 0.0003), reduced operative times (WMD: - 109.99 min; 95% CI: - 141.40, - 78.59; p < 0.00001), and lower overall complication rates (OR: 0.54; 95% CI: 0.40, 0.74; p = 0.0001). However, PCA was associated with a higher rate of local recurrence when compared to MIPN (OR: 3.81; 95% CI: 2.45, 5.92; p < 0.00001). Additionally, no significant differences were observed in major complications, estimated glomerular filtration rate decline, creatinine variation, overall survival, recurrence-free survival, and disease-free survival between the two treatment modalities. PCA presents a notable disadvantage regarding local recurrence rates in comparison to MIPN. However, PCA offers several advantages over MIPN, including shorter durations of hospital stay, reduced operative times, and lower complication rates, while achieving similar outcomes in other oncologic metrics.

Abstract
PURPOSE To characterize intratumoral immune cell trafficking in ablated and synchronous tumors following combined radiofrequency ablation (RFA) and systemic liposomal granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulation factor (lip-GM-CSF). METHODS Phase I, 72 rats with single subcutaneous R3230 adenocarcinoma were randomized to 6 groups: a) sham; b&c) free or liposomal GM-CSF alone; d) RFA alone; or e&f) combined with blank liposomes or lip-GM-CSF. Animals were sacrificed 3 and 7 days post-RFA. Outcomes included immunohistochemistry of dendritic cells (DCs), M1 and M2 macrophages, T-helper cells (Th1) (CD4+), cytotoxic T- lymphocytes (CTL) (CD8+), T-regulator cells (T-reg) (FoxP3+) and Fas Ligand activated CTLs (Fas-L+) in the periablational rim and untreated index tumor. M1/M2, CD4+/CD8+ and CD8+/FoxP3+ ratios were calculated. Phase II, 40 rats with double tumors were randomized to 4 groups: a) sham, b) RFA, c) RFA-BL and d) RFA-lip-GM-CSF. Synchronous untreated tumors collected at 7d were analyzed similarly. RESULTS RFA-lip-GMCSF increased periablational M1, CTL and CD8+/FoxP3+ ratio at 3 and 7d, and activated CTLs 7d post-RFA (p<0.05). RFA-lip-GMSCF also increased M2, T-reg, and reduced CD4+/CD8+ 3 and 7d post-RFA respectively (p<0.05). In untreated index tumor, RFA-lip-GMCSF improved DCs, M1, CTLs and activated CTL 7d post-RFA (p<0.05). Furthermore, RFA-lip-GMSCF increased M2 at 3 and 7d, and T-reg 7d post-RFA (p<0.05). In synchronous tumors, RFA-BL and RFA-lip-GM-CSF improved DC, Th1 and CTL infiltration 7d post-RFA. CONCLUSION Systemic liposomal GM-CSF combined with RFA improves intratumoral immune cell trafficking, specifically populations initiating (DC, M1) and executing (CTL, FasL+) anti-tumor immunity. Moreover, liposomes influence synchronous untreated metastases increasing Th1, CTL and DCs infiltration.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Partial nephrectomy (PN) is the gold standard treatment for cT1b renal tumors. Percutaneous guided thermal ablation (TA) has proven oncologic efficacy with low morbidity for the treatment of small renal masses (<3 cm). Recently, 3D image-guided robot-assisted PN (3D-IGRAPN) has been described, and decreased perioperative morbidity compared to standard RAPN has been reported. Our objective was to compare two minimally invasive image-guided nephron-sparing procedures (TA vs. 3D-IGRAPN) for the treatment of cT1b renal cell carcinomas (4.1-7 cm). METHODS Patients treated with TA and 3D-IGRAPN for cT1b renal cell carcinoma, prospectively included in the UroCCR database (NCT03293563), were pair-matched for tumor size, pathology, and RENAL score. The primary endpoint was the local recurrence rate between the two groups. Secondary endpoints included metastatic evolution, perioperative complications, decrease in renal function, and length of hospitalization. RESULTS A total of 198 patients were included and matched into two groups of 72 patients. The local recurrence rate was significantly higher in the TA group than that in the 3D-IGRAPN group (4.2% vs. 15.2%, P=0.04). Metastatic evolution and perioperative outcomes such as major complications, eGFR decrease, and length of hospitalization did not differ significantly between the two groups. CONCLUSIONS 3D-IGRAPN resulted in a significantly lower local recurrence rate and comparable rates of complications and metastatic evolution compared with thermal ablation.

Abstract
Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of intrahepatic tumors induces distant tumor growth through activation of interleukin 6/signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3)/hepatocyte growth factor (HGF)/tyrosine-protein kinase Met (c-MET) pathway. Yet, the predominant cellular source still needs to be identified as specific roles of the many types of periablational infiltrating immune cells requires further clarification. Here we report the key role of activated myofibroblasts in RFA-induced tumorigenesis and successful pharmacologic blockade. Murine models simulating RF tumorigenic effects on a macrometastatic tumor and intrahepatic micrometastatic deposits after liver ablation and a macrometastatic tumor after kidney ablation were used. Immune assays of ablated normal parenchyma demonstrated significantly increased numbers of activated myofibroblasts in the periablational rim, as well as increased HGF levels, recruitment other cellular infiltrates; macrophages, dendritic cells and natural killer cells, HGF dependent growth factors; fibroblast growth factor-19 (FGF-19) and receptor of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor-1 (VEGFR-1), and proliferative indices; Ki-67 and CD34 for microvascular density. Furthermore, macrometastatic models demonstrated accelerated distant tumor growth at 7d post-RFA while micrometastatic models demonstrated increased intrahepatic deposit size and number at 14 and 21 days post-RFA. Multi-day atorvastatin, a selective fibroblast inhibitor, inhibited RFA-induced HGF and downstream growth factors, cellular markers and proliferative indices. Specifically, atorvastatin treatment reduced cellular and proliferative indices to baseline levels in the micrometastatic models, however only partially in macrometastatic models. Furthermore, adjuvant atorvastatin completely inhibited accelerated growth of macrometastasis and negated increased micrometastatic intrahepatic burden. Thus, activated myofibroblasts drive RF-induced tumorigenesis at a cellular level via induction of the HGF/c-MET/STAT3 axis, and can be successfully pharmacologically suppressed.

Abstract
AbstractManagement of urological malignancies has evolved significantly with continually changing guidelines and treatment options which demand more centralized involvement of radiology than ever before.Radiologists play a pivotal role in interpreting complex cancer scans and guiding clinical teams toward the best management options in the light of clinical profile. Management of complex uro-oncology cases is often discussed in multidisciplinary meetings which are essential checkpoints to evaluate an overall picture and formulate optimal treatment plans.The aim of this article is to provide a radiological perspective with practical guidance to fellow radiologists participating in uro-oncology multidisciplinary meetings based on commonly encountered case scenarios, updated guidelines, and cancer pathways.Crucial imaging tips with regards to renal and urinary tract cancers, upon which therapeutic decisions are made, have been condensed in this article after reviewing several complex cases from urology multidisciplinary meetings and European Association of Urology guidelines.Outline of various diagnostic and management strategies, key staging features, surveillance guidelines, and, above all, what the onco-urologists want to know from radiologists have been succinctly discussed in this article.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study is to explore efficacy and safety for radiofrequency ablation (RFA) among cases attacked by large benign solid thyroid nodules, mainly focusing on volume reduction, complication rate, and thyroid function. METHODS AND MATERIALS From June 2015 to November 2019, 24 patients with 25 large benign solid thyroid nodules (more than 25 ml) underwent single or sequential RFA in our institution. Eleven nodules achieved complete ablation after single RFA, whereas the other 14 nodules received sequential RFA. Volume reduction in large nodules was evaluated. Following single or sequential RFA, all patients received clinical and ultrasound evaluations, and the median follow-up duration among them was 23.5 months. Technical success, complication rate, and recurrence rate were assessed as well. RESULTS In single RFA group, volume reduction ranged from 62.6% to 99.4% (mean ± SD, 93.6 ± 9.9%) 6 months after RFA. In sequential RFA group, volume reduction ranged from 30.6% to 92.9% (mean ± SD, 67.4 ± 17.8%) after the first RFA and was between 83.4% and 98.4% (mean ± SD, 94.8± 3.8%) 6 months after the second RFA. The concentrations of FT3 and FT4 increased slightly 1 day after RFA and returned to normal level 1 month after. CONCLUSIONS Single or sequential RFA is safe and effective in treating large benign solid thyroid nodules (more than 25 ml) that cause obvious compressive symptoms. Hence, compression symptoms and cosmetic conditions could be effectively improved through single or sequential RFA without marginal recurrence.

Abstract
Ablative (percutaneous and stereotactic) thermal and radiotherapy procedures for management of both primary and metastatic renal cell carcinoma are increasing in popularity in clinical practice. Data suggest comparable efficacy with lower cost and morbidity compared to nephrectomy. Ablative therapies may be used alone or in conjunction with surgery or chemotherapy for treatment of primary tumor and metastatic disease. Imaging plays a crucial role in pre-treatment selection and planning of ablation, intra-procedural guidance, evaluation for complications, short- and long-term post-procedural surveillance of disease, and treatment response. Treatment response and disease recurrence may differ considerably after ablation, particularly for stereotactic radiotherapy, when compared to conventional surgical and chemotherapies. This article reviews the current and emerging role of imaging for ablative therapy of renal cell carcinoma.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To analyse the safety, technical feasibility, long-term renal function and oncological outcome of multimodal technologies in image-guided ablation (IGA) for renal cancer in Von-Hippel-Lindau (VHL) patients, and to evaluate factors that may influence the outcome. METHODS Retrospective analysis of a prospective database of VHL patients who underwent IGA at a specialist centre. Patient's demographics, treatment energy, peri-operative outcome and oncological outcomes were recorded. Statistical analysis was performed to determine factors associated with complication and renal function reduction. The overall, 5 and 10-year cancer specific (CS), local recurrence-free (LRF) and metastasis-free (MF) survival rates were presented with Kaplan-Meier Curves. RESULTS From 2004 to 2021, 17 VHL patients (age 21-68.2) with a mean (±SD) RCC size of 2.06 ± 0.92 cm received IGA. Median (IQR) RCCs per patient was 3 (2-4) over the course of follow up. Fifty-four RCCs were treated using radiofrequency ablation (n = 11), cryoablation (n = 38) and irreversible electroporation (n = 8) in 50 sessions. Primary and overall technical success rate were 94.4% (51/54) and 98% (53/54). One CD-III complication with proximal ureteric injury. Five patients in seven treatment sessions experienced a >25% reduction of eGFR immediately post-IGA. All patients have preservation of renal function at a median follow-up of 79 (51-134) months. The 5 and 10-year CS, LRF and MF survival rates are 100%, 97.8% and 100%. Whilst, the 5 and 10-year overall survival rate are100% and 90%. CONCLUSION Multimodal IGA of de novo RCC for VHL patients is safe and has provided long term preservation of renal function and robust oncological durability.

Abstract
Osseous metastases in renal cell carcinoma (RCC) are a heterogeneous mix of cells with hypervascular and rapidly destructive properties that frequently exhibit resistance to both radiation and chemotherapy. Despite this, some patients with isolated and oligometastatic disease have the potential to be cured. Regardless, aggressive metastatic control is critical to minimizing morbidity and mortality for all patients with metastatic RCC. Percutaneous cryoprobes were developed as a minimally invasive technique for both pain relief and tumor control. However, there is little evidence describing an alternative use of this technology in the operating room to assist with open tumor resections, and no formal role for its use in orthopedics exists. Therefore, the authors added this modality to their intraoperative treatment of osseous RCC to investigate whether it would influence their ability to obtain local metastatic control. The authors performed a retrospective chart review of prospectively obtained data to evaluate the role of intraoperative cryotherapy in the treatment of osseous RCC. From 2004 to 2017, cryotherapy was used in 43 procedures, alleviating the need for additional radiation 84% (36 of 43) of the time. Local tumor control was achieved in 100% (43 of 43) of cases. There were 2 wound-related complications and 1 pathologic fracture. Despite the study's limitations, the authors believe that cryotherapy contributed to the reliability and reproducibility of their intralesional resections. Given the palliative, and potentially curative, opportunities afforded by complete locoregional tumor control, the authors support further investigation into the use of intraoperative cryotherapy to treat osseous metastases secondary to RCC.

Abstract
Imaging-guided percutaneous microwave ablation (MWA) with high thermal efficiency comprises rapid, successful management of small renal cell carcinomas (RCCs) in selected patients. Ultrasound Committee of Chinese Medical Association, Interventional Oncology Committee of Chinese Research Hospital Association developed evidence-based guidelines for MWA of RCCs after systematically reviewing the 1969-2019 literature. Systematic reviews, meta-analyses, randomized controlled trials, cohort, and case-control studies reporting MWA of RCCs were included and levels of evidence assessed. Altogether, 146 articles were identified, of which 35 reported percutaneous MWA for T1a RCCs and 5 articles for T1b RCCs. Guidelines were established based on indications, techniques, safety, and effectiveness of MWA for RCCs, with the goal of standardizing imaging-guided percutaneous MWA treatment of RCCs. Key points Microwave ablation is recommended for managing small renal cell carcinoma in selected patients. Imaging protocols are tailored based on the procedural plan, guidance, and evaluation. Patient's selection evaluation, updated technique information, clinical efficacy, and complications are recommended to standardize management. A joint task force (multidisciplinary team) summarized the key elements of the standardized report.

Iatrogenic ureteric stricture post image guided renal cryoablation in a patient with von hippel-lindau syndrome. Radiol Case Rep 2021; 16:2057. [PMID: 34158894 PMCID: PMC8203560 DOI: 10.1016/j.radcr.2021.05.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/30/2021] [Accepted: 05/01/2021] [Indexed: 01/20/2023] Open
Abstract
A 53-year-old lady is known to have Von Hippel-Lindau syndrome with a long history of previous renal cell carcinomas (RCCs) in both kidneys. She was treated by partial nephrectomy for a right peripheral RCC and subsequently image guided radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of a left central RCC. She developed another de novo RCC adjacent to the right pelvic-ureteric junction (PUJ) 4 years after the initial RFA. Due to the close proximity to the PUJ and visibility of an ice ball with cryoablation (CRYO), the consensus from the MDT was that CRYO would be safer than RFA and she subsequently underwent percutaneous image guided CRYO to treat the small de novo RCC. Unfortunately, during the 1-month imaging follow up, she developed moderate hydronephrosis and a ureteric stricture needing long-term ureteric stent management. This case highlights the risk of ureteric injury caused by the thermal effect of the ice ball during image guided renal CRYO. Therefore, it is vital that all interventional radiologists adopt various manoeuvres to protect the ureter from the ice ball during CRYO in order to avoid the development of latent ureteric stricture.

Irreversible electroporation (IRE) in renal cell carcinoma (RCC): a mid-term clinical experience. Eur Radiol 2021; 31:7491-7499. [PMID: 33825033 PMCID: PMC8023551 DOI: 10.1007/s00330-021-07846-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/13/2021] [Revised: 02/12/2021] [Accepted: 02/26/2021] [Indexed: 01/14/2023]
Abstract
Objectives To evaluate the safety and efficacy of CT-guided IRE of clinical T1a (cT1a) renal tumours close to vital structures and to assess factors that may influence the technical success and early oncological durability. Methods CT-guided IRE (2015–2020) was prospectively evaluated. Patients’ demographics, technical details/success, Clavien-Dindo (CD) classification of complications (I–V) and oncological outcome were collated. Statistical analysis was performed to determine variables associated with complications. The overall 2- and 3-year cancer-specific (CS), local recurrence-free (LRF) and metastasis-free (MF) survival rates are presented using the Kaplan-Meier curves. Results Thirty cT1a RCCs (biopsy-proven/known VHL disease) in 26 patients (age 32–81 years) were treated with IRE. The mean tumour size was 2.5 cm and the median follow-up was 37 months. The primary technical success rate was 73.3%, where 22 RCCs were completely IRE ablated. Seven residual diseases were successfully ablated with cryoablation, achieving an overall technical success rate of 97%. One patient did not have repeat treatment as he died from unexpected stroke at 4-month post-IRE. One patient had CD-III complication with a proximal ureteric injury. Five patients developed > 25% reduction of eGFR immediately post-IRE. All patients have preservation of renal function without the requirement for renal dialysis. The overall 2- and 3-year CS, LRF and MF survival rates are 89%, 96%, 91% and 87%. Conclusion CT-guided IRE in cT1a RCC is safe with acceptable complications. The primary technical success rate was suboptimal due to the early operator’s learning curve, and long-term follow-up is required to validate the IRE oncological durability. Key Points • Irreversible electroporation should only be considered when surgery or image-guided thermal ablation is not an option for small renal cancer. • This non-thermal technique is safe in the treatment of small renal cancer and the primary technical success rate was 73.3%. • This can be used when renal cancer is close to important structure.

Abstract
PURPOSE To assess the safety, feasibility, and efficacy of percutaneous thermal ablation (TA) in the treatment of metastatic gynecologic (GYN) tumors. MATERIALS AND METHODS A study cohort of 42 consecutive women (mean age, 59. years; range, 25-78 years) with metastatic GYN tumors (119 metastatic tumors) treated with radiofrequency (n = 47 tumors), microwave (n = 47 tumors), or cryogenic (n = 30 tumors) ablation from over 2,800 ablations performed from January 2001 to January 2019 was identified. The primary GYN neoplasms consisted of ovarian (27 patients; 77 tumors; mean tumor diameter [MTD], 2.50 cm), uterine (7 patients; 26 tumors; MTD, 1.89 cm), endometrial (5 patients; 10 tumors; MTD, 2.8 cm), vaginal (2 patients; 5 tumors; MTD, 2.40 cm), and cervical (1 patient; 1 tumor; MTD, 1.90 cm) cancers. In order of descending frequency, metastatic tumors treated by TA were located in the liver or liver capsule (74%), lungs (13%), and peritoneal implants (9%). Single tumors were also treated in the kidneys, rectus muscle, perirectal soft tissue (2.5%), and retroperitoneal lymph nodes (1.6%). All efficacy parameters of TA and definitions of major and minor adverse events are categorized by the latest Society of Interventional Radiology reporting standards. RESULTS The median follow-up of treated patients was 10 months. After the initial ablation, 95.6% of the patients achieved a complete tumor response confirmed by contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging or computed tomography. On surveillance imaging, 8.5% of the ablated tumors developed local progression over a median follow-up period of 4.1 months. Five of 8 tumors with local recurrence underwent repeated treatment over a mean follow-up period of 18 months, and 4 of 5 tumors achieved complete eradication after 1 additional treatment session that resulted in a secondary efficacy of 80%. The overall technique efficacy of TA was 96.2% over a median follow-up period of 10 months. CONCLUSIONS TA was safe and effective for the local control of metastatic GYN tumors in the lungs, abdomen, and pelvis, with an overall survival rate of 37.5 months and a local progression-free survival rate of 16.5 months, with only 4.8% of treated patients experiencing a major adverse event.

Abstract
Thermal ablation of small renal masses is increasingly accepted as an alternative to partial nephrectomy, particularly in patients with multiple comorbidities. Many professional societies support this alternate treatment with updated guidelines. Before performing thermal ablation, it is important to stratify risk and assess technical feasibility by evaluating tumor imaging features such as size, location, and centrality. Routine postablation imaging with CT or MRI is necessary for assessment of residual or recurrent tumor, evidence of complications, or new renal masses outside the ablation zone. The normal spectrum and evolution of findings at CT and MRI include a halo appearance of the ablation zone, ablation zone contraction, and ablation zone calcifications. Tumor recurrence frequently manifests at CT or MRI as new nodular enhancement at the periphery of an expanding ablation zone, although it is normal for the ablation zone to enlarge within the first few months. Recognizing early tumor recurrence is important, as small renal masses are often easily treated with repeat ablations. Potential complications of thermal ablation include vascular injury, urine leak, ureteral stricture, nerve injury, and bowel perforation. The risk of these complications may be related to tumor size and location.©RSNA, 2019.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW With the increasing incidence of small renal masses (SRMs), ablative technologies are becoming more commonly utilized. With any nascent treatment modality, outcomes literature needs to be constantly re-evaluated. The purpose of this review is to revisit the most updated literature regarding the safety and efficacy of ablative treatments of renal lesions. RECENT FINDINGS Recent literature demonstrates that small renal tumor ablation is safe and effective. Although it does not have the same oncological efficacy of surgical extirpation, local recurrence-free survival has consistently shown to be around 90%. Cryoablation and radiofrequency ablation have longer-term data demonstrating durable responses. Microwave ablation and irreversible electroporation are promising modalities with longer-term data coming. Complication rates and procedural morbidity of ablation are consistently lower than for partial nephrectomy. SUMMARY Image-guided focal ablation is a valuable tool in the management of SRMs. Although it does not have the same efficacy of surgical extirpation, with the ability to perform repeat procedures and salvage surgery if necessary, oncologic outcomes are comparable to those of upfront surgery. Ultimately, longer-term studies and prospective trials are needed to further elucidate these modalities.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Usefulness of ultrasound (US)-guided mass targeting and computed tomography (CT)-guided ice-ball monitoring in percutaneous cryoablation (PCA) for renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is still uncertain. PURPOSE To assess radiation dose and short-term outcomes of PCA for RCC using US-guided targeting and CT-guided ice-ball monitoring. MATERIAL AND METHODS Thirty-nine consecutive patients who underwent PCA for biopsy-proven RCC were included. Mass targeting was performed with US and ice-ball was monitored with CT guidance. Effective radiation dose of CT during PCA was recorded. Follow-up was conducted with contrast-enhanced CT or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) (mean follow-up time = 10.1 ± 7.0 months). Local tumor progression was defined by the presence of focal enhancing areas at the ablation zone (CT, ≥ 20 HU; MRI, presence of focal enhancement on subtraction contrast-enhanced image). Technical success, major complication rate (e.g. Clavien-Dindo classification ≥ 3), and one-year local tumor progression-free survival (PFS) rate were analyzed. RESULTS Mean effective radiation dose in association with PCA was 12.1 ± 4.5 mSv (range = 7.0-25.2 mSv). Technical success was achieved in 100%. Local tumor progression occurred in a single patient (2.6%, 1/39), and one-year local tumor PFS rate was 95.7%. No major complication was found. CONCLUSION PCA using US-guided targeting and CT-guided ice-ball monitoring may allow acceptable local tumor control for RCC, as a radiation-reducing strategy.

Abstract
La radiofréquence et la cryothérapie sont les deux principales techniques ablatives et les principales alternatives à la chirurgie pour le traitement des petites masses rénales. Deux méta-analyses ont comparé radiofréquence et cryothérapie, et conclu à leur équivalence en termes de succès, de récidive et de complications. La cryothérapie est plus coûteuse, techniquement plus compliquée (plusieurs ponctions pour plusieurs cryodes, durée de traitement plus longue), et paraît plus adaptée aux tumeurs complexes (centrorénale et/ou au contact de la voie excrétrice). La voie d’abord percutanée est privilégiée par rapport à la laparoscopie pour sa morbidité moindre et un positionnement des aiguilles guidé par l’imagerie qui est plus précis.

Abstract
Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is the most common renal malignancy, accounting for approximately 2% of adult malignancies and 4% of new cancer cases in the United States every year. Imaging guided ablative therapy, including radiofrequency (RF) ablation, cryotherapy and microwave has gained popularity over the last decade in treatment of small tumors. Antiangiogenic therapy has set itself to be the standard of care for many patients with metastasis these days. With hope for more research, survival rates of metastatic RCC may increase from a current 2-year survival rate of approximately 20%. Variation in imaging surveillance protocol in terms of frequency, modality, and duration is noted among guidelines developed by several organizations. In this review article, we will discuss follow-up imaging protocols, patterns of RCC recurrence following different modalities of treatment, imaging appearance, as well as usual and unusual sites of metastatic disease.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The incidence of kidney cancer has increased significantly over the past few decades presumably due to the increased use of imaging. The aim of this article is to describe contemporary outcomes of ablative therapy and to compare them to other therapeutic options in terms of oncological, functional, perioperative outcomes and cost. MATERIAL AND METHODS We searched MEDLINE®, Embase®, using (MeSH) words; from January 2005 through May 2017, and we looked for all the studies. Investigators graded the strength of evidence in terms of methodology, language and relevance. RESULTS Ninety-one articles were analyzed. We described the outcomes of ablative therapy in relation to the energy used and the approach, and compared these outcomes to the other therapeutic options in terms of oncological, functional and perioperative outcomes. We analyzed these studies in order to search for predictive factors influencing the results of ablative therapy. We also analyzed the economic burden of small renal tumor management. CONCLUSION The strength of evidence is based almost entirely on retrospective studies and is susceptible to the inherent limitations of this study design. Although, the evidence was low among studies, our revue showed that, in elderly patients treated with ablative therapy for cT1a tumors, the cancer-specific survival was comparable to partial nephrectomy with differences in overall survival that are explained by competing risks of death in the old population. Considering the functional results, the renal function preservation seems to be comparable between the 2 groups while the perioperative morbidity is higher in the partial nephrectomy group. The evidence base medicine at this time cannot support the extension of the indications of ablative therapy beyond the actual implementations.
