Abstract No. 512 Percutaneous thermal ablation of T1b renal cell carcinoma

While percutaneous ablation of renal masses has matured in the treatment of stage T1a renal cell carcinomas, less is known about the outcomes of percutaneous ablation in stage T1b renal tumors. Multiple groups have found high rates of cancer free, progression free, and overall survival after percutaneous thermal ablation of T1b tumors. A comparison of percutaneous ablation versus partial nephrectomy in T1b tumors by Chang and by Caputo demonstrated comparable overall and cancer specific survival rates.
