- Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is an effective minimally invasive treatment for renal tumors, especially in patients with conditions like prior nephrectomy or surgical risks.
- RFA achieved a high therapeutic success rate (91%) in treating 65 tumors, although larger tumors (>5 cm) had a lower success rate (60%).
- While complications occurred in 13% of cases, with 5% classified as major, the study also highlighted its limitations, including the absence of pathological confirmation of ablation success and lack of a control group.
