- Abstract:
- The incidence of renal cell carcinoma has been rising for years. At the same time there is an increasing prevalence of chronic renal failure with subsequent higher morbidity and shorter life expectancy in those affected. In the last decades the gold standard has thus shifted from radical to partial nephrectomy or tumor enucleation. A treatment alternative can be advantageous for selected patients with high morbidity and an increased risk of complications in anesthesia or surgery. Active surveillance represents a controlled delay in the initiation of treatment with a curative intention. Percutaneous radiofrequency ablation and laparoscopic cryoablation are currently the most commonly used treatment alternatives. Newer ablation procedures, such as high-intensity focused ultrasound, irreversible electroporation, microwave ablation, stereotactic ablative radiotherapy and high-dose brachytherapy have a high potential in some cases but are still considered experimental for the treatment.
