Cryoablation refers to all methods of destroying tissue by freezing. Cryoablation causes
cellular damage, death, and necrosis of tissues by direct mechanisms, which cause cold …

Despite substantial advances in the imaging-based diagnosis of renal masses, the
increased detection of incidental renal masses with cross-sectional imaging poses problems …

The most common renal cancer is renal cell carcinoma (RCC), which arises from the renal
parenchyma. The global incidence of RCC has increased over the past two decades by 2 …

BACKGROUND. The incidence of renal cell carcinoma is rising because of incidental
detection of small renal masses (SRMs). Although surgical resection remains the standard of …

Purpose: The incidence of renal cell carcinoma is increasing due to the incidental detection
of small renal masses. Resection, predominantly by nephron sparing surgery, remains the …

Small renal tumors are increasingly diagnosed and are frequently treated by nephron-
sparing surgery. Tumors can be ablated by radiofrequency (RF) energy, which allows the …

Although percutaneous renal mass biopsy with cross-sectional imaging guidance has long
been considered to be safe and accurate, there have been recent advances in imaging …

The use of freezing temperatures for the therapeutic destruction of tissue began in England
in 1845–51 when James Arnott described the use of iced salt solutions (about–20° C) to …

Background With recent improvements in breast imaging, our ability to identify small breast
tumors has markedly improved, prompting significant interest in the use of ablation without …
