Purpose: Several options exist for management of clinically localized renal masses
suspicious for cancer, including active surveillance, thermal ablation and radical or partial …

Results We found 58 articles reporting on relevant renal functional outcomes. Meta-analyses
showed that final eGFR fell 10.5 ml/min per 1.73 m 2 lower for radical nephrectomy …

Context Cryoablation (CA) is a minimally invasive modality with low complication rates, but
its use in urology is relatively recent. Objective To summarize available evidence for CA for …

Purpose To assess the differential clinical outcomes of patients treated with partial
nephrectomy (PN) vs. those treated with ablation therapy (AT) such as radiofrequency …

Introduction Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) in solitary kidney (SK) represents a challenging
scenario. We sought to compare outcomes of robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) …

Background While partial nephrectomy (PN) is considered the standard approach for a
tumor in a solitary kidney, percutaneous cryoablation (PCA) is emerging as an alternative …

Background and objective Renal function preservation is particularly important following
nonoperative treatment of localized renal cell carcinoma (RCC) since patients are often …

Purpose: Stereotactic ablative radiotherapy is an emerging treatment for renal cell
carcinoma. Our study objective was to evaluate this therapy in patients with a solitary kidney …

Partial nephrectomy is the optimal surgical approach in the management of small renal
masses (SRMs). Focal ablation therapy has an established role in the modern management …

Introduction Cryoablation (CA) has been broadly used mostly in the treatment of small renal
masses (SRMs). The present review aims to define the current role of CA in the treatment of …
