Reporting standards for percutaneous thermal ablation of renal cell carcinoma.
WITH the increasing incidence of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) in the United States and the increasing proportion of patients with tumors detected at an early stage (1–5), nephron-sparing approaches are becoming more popular. These alternatives to radical nephrectomy include partial nephrectomy, wedge resection, and, more recently, in situ thermal ablation. Five-year survival rates after partial n...
متن کاملPercutaneous radiofrequency thermal ablation for hepatocellular carcinoma.
BACKGROUND Radiofrequency thermal ablation is the first therapeutic option in percutaneous treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma but data on its long-term efficacy and safety are not conclusive. AIM This study reports a prospective survey on radiofrequency thermal ablation in north-east Italy. METHODS Data were collected on 401 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (males 301, mean age: 68...
متن کاملPercutaneous Radiofrequency Ablation of Renal Cell Carcinoma
Background: Preliminary data regarding the use of percutaneous radiofrequency ablation (RFA) for the treatment of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) are encouraging, and show the technique to be associated with minimal morbidity. Thus, the current study was designed to evaluate the clinical applications, treatment efficacy, and complications of percutaneous RFA in RCC. Methods: From February 2003 to Fe...
متن کاملThermal ablation of hepatocellular carcinoma
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the fifth most common cause of cancer, and its incidence is increasing worldwide because of the dissemination of hepatitis B and C virus infection. Patients with cirrhosis are at the highest risk of developing HCC and should be monitored every 6 months to diagnose the tumour at an early, asymptomatic stage. Patients with early-stage HCC should be considered for...
متن کاملImage-guided thermal ablation of hepatocellular carcinoma.
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is increasingly diagnosed at an early, asymptomatic stage owing to surveillance of high-risk patients. Given the complexity of the disease, multidisciplinary assessment of tumor stage, liver function, and physical status is required for proper therapeutic planning. Patients with early-stage HCC should be considered for any of the available curative therapies, incl...
