“…Peripheral, exophytic, and small (<3 cm) tumors are associated with improved efficacy. Disadvantages include the lack of long-term clinical data, the heat sink effect (blood flow from adjacent vessels causing heat loss), and charring, which leads to decreased ablation zones (11).…”

“…RFA utilizes the flow of alternating electrical currents to induce thermal injury to a lesion (11). To accomplish this, a closed-loop circuit containing an electrical generator, a needle electrode, grounding pads, and a patient are required to complete the circuit.…”

“…Actually, the literature supports the use of MWA for the treatment of small renal tumors with rare objections [7,[29][30][31]. This technology can be applied in selected patients who are not candidates for surgery, as an alternative to other ablative techniques [11,[29][30][31]. Though MWA achieved comparable results to those obtained with RF ablation or cryoablation, MWA needs a relatively short ablation time and may be more suitable for patients with a variety of comorbidities who cannot tolerate long-time anesthesia [31].…”

“…CA offers the same advantages of minimally invasive surgery with a lower rate of late complications than partial nephrectomy, respectively, 2.2 versus 16.3 % [10]. Cryoablation, using tissue temperatures to between -20 and -50°C, causes ice formation within the extracellular space leading cellular dehydration, cell membrane rupture, and finally tissue ischemia [11]. Differently, RFA utilizes alternating electrical currents to induce thermal injury to a lesion [12].…”

“…The ability to deploy multiple, individually-controlled cryoablation applicators facilitates the creation of ablation zones of desired shapes and sizes that can be tailored to the morphology of the tumor being ablated (15,16). Cryoablation is also monitorable; ice balls can be visualized by computed tomography (CT) as a distinct ovoid area of low attenuation during the procedure.…”
