Abstract

Image-guided thermal ablation is accepted as one of non-invasive modalities in the treatment of small renal tumor. Current EAU and AUA guidelines suggest cryoablation and radiofrequency ablation in patients with small renal tumor with/without significant comorbidities. Cryoablation and radiofrequency ablation have been most commonly used in the treatment of small renal tumor. A new ablation modality, microwave ablation, has been of increasing interest in the treatment of small renal tumor. Clinical studies show that ablation therapy is an effective treatment with good clinical outcomes and low risk of complications in selected patients over short- and medium-term periods of time. This article reviews the current published clinical long-term results and updates the results in the procedure, such as cryoablation, radiofrequency ablation and microwave ablation
