Percutaneous Microwave Ablation versus Laparoscopic Partial Nephrectomy for cT1a Renal Cell Carcinoma: A Propensity-matched Cohort Study of 1955 Patients.

Background Percutaneous microwave ablation (MWA) and laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (LPN) are two modalities indicated for early-stage renal cell carcinoma (RCC) with low extent of invasion. Purpose To compare the long-term results of percutaneous MWA and LPN in the treatment of cT1a RCC. Materials and Methods This retrospective study included 1955 patients with cT1a RCC treated with percutaneous MWA or LPN between April 2006 and November 2017.

Ultrasound-guided percutaneous microwave ablation of central intraductal papilloma: a prospective pilot study.

Central intraductal papilloma (IDP) has a low risk of cancer evolution; therefore, surgical treatment of IDP is controversial. We sought to validate ultrasound (US)-guided percutaneous microwave ablation (MWA) for minimally invasive treatment of IDP. Thirteen women with central IDP, including six with nipple discharge, underwent US-guided core needle biopsy and MWA from December 2016 to November 2017.

Ultrasound guided percutaneous microwave ablation of benign breast lesions.

The benign breast lesions (BBLs) share a high incidence for women and therapy methods with minimal invasion and better cosmetic outcome are thirsted for. In this study, 122 patients with 198 biopsy-proved BBLs were enrolled. Ultrasound (US)-guided microwave ablation (MWA) was performed with local anesthesia from November, 2013 to April, 2016.

[Long-term effects of ultrasound-guided microwave ablation in the treatment of small renal cell carcinoma].

Objective: To evaluate the long-term efficacy of microwave ablation in the treatment of small renal cell carcinoma (RCC).

Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 140 cases of small cell renal carcinoma (151 lesions with a mean diameter of 2.8±0.

Midterm results of percutaneous microwave ablation under ultrasound guidance versus retroperitoneal laparoscopic radial nephrectomy for small renal cell carcinoma.

Laparoscopic radial nephrectomy (LRN) and microwave ablation (MWA) are optional treatment for renal cell carcinoma (RCC). However, the comparative study with two techniques remains lacking. The aim of this study was to evaluate midterm results of MWA vs.

Local tumour progression after ultrasound-guided microwave ablation of liver malignancies: risk factors analysis of 2529 tumours.

Objectives: To identify the incidence and risk factors that predict local tumour progression (LTP) after ultrasound-guided percutaneous microwave ablation (MWA) of liver malignancies.

Materials And Methods: One thousand two hundred and nine patients with 2,529 malignant nodules (mean size 2.8 ± 1.

US-guided percutaneous microwave ablation versus open radical nephrectomy for small renal cell carcinoma: intermediate-term results.

Purpose: To review intermediate-term clinical outcomes of microwave ablation (MWA) compared with open radial nephrectomy (ORN) in small renal cell carcinoma (RCC) patients and to identify prognostic factors associated with two techniques.

Materials And Methods: This retrospective study was institutional review board-approved. A total of 163 patients (127 men and 36 women) with small RCC (≤4 cm) were included from April 2006 to March 2012.

US-guided percutaneous microwave ablation of renal cell carcinoma: intermediate-term results.

Purpose: To retrospectively review intermediate-term (median, 20.1 months) clinical outcomes after microwave ablation (MWA) of renal cell carcinoma (RCC).

Materials And Methods: This retrospective study was approved by the institutional review board.
