Oncologic Efficacy of Radio Frequency Ablation for Small Renal Masses: Clear Cell vs Papillary Subtype

Abstract: Radio frequency ablation outcomes seem to be determined in part by renal cell carcinoma subtype with clear cell renal tumors having less favorable outcomes. We hypothesize that this is due to differences in tumor vascularity. Our experience suggests that future tumor ablation studies should consider reporting outcomes based on tumor cell types.

“…We found no statistical difference in oncologic control between the two surgical methods in the chromophobe RCC population. One group concluded that the prognosis of clear cell RCC after LA was worse than that of nonclear cell carcinoma, which is consistent with previous research 46 . In their study, 229 patients were included (181 clear cell RCC and 48 papillary RCC).…”

“…Patients with clear cell RCC have been observed to have higher levels of serum vascular endothelial growth factor which augments vascular leakage of tumor cells [ 19 ]. Recently, PA of clear cell RCCs have been shown to have less favorable outcomes compared to non-clear cell cancers [ 20 ]. Second, achieving negative margins without residual tumor in surgical resection is commonly viewed to be independent of tumor subtype, however, biology of various RCCs may further impact treatment choice and outcomes.…”

“…The outcomes of ablative therapies, however, are likely not solely influenced by size. For example, Lay et al found improved ablation success in papillary RCC types compared to clear cell types, likely due to differing vascularity of the tumor types [35]. Given that many patients do not have a biopsy prior to their ablation, they also assessed CT enhancement, noting that tumors with enhancement greater than 60 Hounsfield units experienced a higher risk of incomplete ablation compared to less-enhancing tumors [36].…”
