Description
Summary:KeyWords: complications cryotherapy kidney cancer results treatment INTRODUCTION The incidence of renal cell carcinoma has increased in recent decades due to the increased detection of small renal masses via abdominal imaging. [...]incidental small renal masses have a slow growth rate and a very low rate of progression to metastatic disease during follow-up and a low incidence of metastatic disease at presentation [3]. [...]many of these renal masses are diagnosed in elderly patients or patients with comorbidities. [...]patients who do not wish to undergo a partial nephrectomy, due to comorbidities or a desire to avoid surgical complications, are often offered ablative techniques [4]. MATERIAL AND METHODS Starting in January 2008, a prospective study of patients receiving cryotherapy (Endocare TM, Slim Line TM, Surgical Systems) for the treatment of renal tumors was carried out in our center, a tertiary care hospital.
