Enrique Grande: Meta-analysis compares ablative therapies for localized renal cell carcinoma

“Meta-analysis compares ablative therapies for localized renal cell carcinoma:

  •  SBRT shows highest local control rates (95% at 5 years), especially for larger tumors (≥4 cm).
  • Radiofrequency, microwave ablation, and cryoablation remain effective for small tumors (<4 cm).
  • All methods have low rates of severe adverse events (1–3%).”
