Image-guided percutaneous ablation techniques for the treatment of renal cell carcinoma: a primer for radiologists

Listen to this summary

The authors aim to provide a comprehensive overview of percutaneous renal tumor ablation (RTA) as a treatment option for small renal masses, particularly in patients with specific comorbidities. They discuss the current indications, technologies, and techniques involved in RTA, as well as compare its oncologic outcomes and renal function preservation to partial nephrectomy. The review serves as a practical guide for radiologists in understanding the role of RTA in the management of renal cell carcinoma.
