“…Other indications include coexistent morbidity or a palliative situation, high surgical or anesthetic risk, and solitary kidney [36,37]. While Mejean and co-workers [35] advocate the use of thermal ablation in renal tumors remote from the renal collecting system, this view is challenged by Gervais and co-workers [38], who treated 100 renal tumors in 85 patients by means of RFA and found that direct contiguity of renal tumor or zone of ablation to the renal collecting system did not increase the complication rate.…”

As in other malignant tumors, prognosis in renal cell carcinoma (RCC) depends on tumor extent and metastasis at the time of primary diagnosis. Staging systems formalize the way in which the extent of RCC is being described and classified. Primary staging of RCC aims at evaluating surgical options. Since surgical excision, which is the mainstay of therapy in non-metastatic RCC, and, recently, minimally invasive ablation methods have evolved significantly over the last decades, staging systems continue to evolve along the way. The 40-year-old Robson classification has been replaced with the TNM classification of RCC, because the latter adapts more easily to changing patterns of diagnosis and therapy. Modern cross-sectional imaging methods, such as multidetector-row computed tomography (MDCT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), perform highly in T-staging of local tumor extent and M-staging of distant metastasis. However, both MDCT and MRI perform poorly in N-staging of lymphadenopathy. At present, 18-F-desoxy-glucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) appears to be unreliable in the detection of RCC and its metastasis. This overview of current radiological and surgical literature attempts to describe how modern staging systems for RCC are organized, and which radiological and surgical developments currently influence the way in which primary staging and prognosis of RCC depend on one another.

“…A number of clinical series have shown favorable shortterm results, 7,9,10 although there remains some concern about the degree of tumor destruction. Both CT and MRI are used routinely during follow-up of ablated lesions, and image interpretation is a crucial component to identify malignant recurrence.…”

Case Report: Radiofrequency Ablation-Induced Renal-Pelvic Obstruction Resulting in Nephrectomy

Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) has emerged as a minimally invasive nephron-sparing treatment for small (<4-cm) renal tumors. Post-RFA complications have been reported. We describe a patient who developed complete renal-pelvic obstruction after RFA. To our knowledge, this is the first such case to be reported and the second reported renal-unit loss as the result of collecting-system obstruction after RFA.

Renal Tumors: Technical Success and Early Clinical Experience with Radiofrequency Ablation of 18 Tumors

Abstract: Our early experience with percutaneous image-guided radiofrequency ablation demonstrates it to be a feasible, safe, noninvasive, and effective treatment of small peripheral renal tumors.
