Radiofrequency Ablation of Small Renal Masses: Outcomes, Complications and Effects on Renal Function.

Introduction: To describe oncological outcomes, effects on renal function and complications with radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of T1 renal tumors in an 8-year experience.

Materials And Methods: A retrospective study of RFA in 89 consecutive patients between 2005 and 2013 was undertaken. Those with metastatic disease, incomplete follow-up, genetic pre-disposition to renal tumors and biopsy proven benign pathology were excluded, with 79 patients meeting inclusion criteria.

Radiofrequency ablation of renal cell carcinoma: a follow up of outcomes.

Introduction: To present the oncological outcomes in a series of patients with cT1a renal cell carcinoma (RCC) treated with radiofrequency ablation (RFA) and its effect on the glomerular filtration rate (GFR).

Materials And Methods: Forty-five patients (48 renal units) treated at the Belfast City Hospital, over 4 years. Average age is 61.

A Review in Management of Testicular Cancer: Single Center Review.

Background: Testicular cancer is one of the few solid cancers that can be cured even when it is metastasized with overall survival rate of more than 90%. The aim of this study was to establish the age adjusted incidence of testicular cancer and to critically assess the management of testicular tumor.

Methods: This is a quantitative retrospective study utilizing a review of clinical notes for patients who underwent testicular orchidectomy.

Outcome of glansectomy and skin grafting in the management of penile cancer.

Subclavian vein thrombosis: an unusual presentation of renal cell carcinoma.

Subclavian vein thrombosis is an uncommon clinical condition which is often associated with venous catheterization or secondary to excessive effort. We present a 54-year-old female with subclavian vein thrombosis as a first presentation of renal cell carcinoma. Although this is an unusual presentation, malignancy should be considered in the differential diagnosis.
