Pathology and Clinical Practice

Renal cell carcinoma

In its most recent guidelines for management of small renal tumors, the American Urological Association identified percutaneous thermal ablation as an alternative therapy for tumors smaller than 3 cm in selected patients. Ablative therapies that can be thermal in this heat-based and cold-based are used and non-thermal that are irreversible electroporation are seen. These technology mostly used in the research and clinical practice for treatment and identification of the renal tumors in this the radio-frequency and cryo ablation are seen.
