Although these results are preliminary, interactive MR imaging-guided RF ITA for treatment of primary renal tumors has a high success rate.

Although perioperative outcomes are generally excellent after LRP irrespective of gland size, a larger prostate size is associated with longer operative time, more blood loss, longer length of stay, and increased complications. Patients with smaller glands and organ-confined disease appear to have a higher rate of positive surgical margins.

Laparoscopic radical prostatectomy can provide excellent cancer control outcomes for clinically localized prostate cancer with high actuarial biochemical recurrence-free survival rates at 3 years.

We accept the hypothesis that temporary renal ischemia leads to a significantly increased radiofrequency ablation lesion size. We conclude that catheter-based balloon perfusion reduction is feasible, that the procedure does not lead to major complications, and that it can be performed using MR imaging as the sole imaging modality.
