Percutaneous Cryoablation vs Partial Nephrectomy for cT1b Renal Tumors
Percutaneous cryoablation for cT1b renal tumors is associated with a higher rate of local disease recurrence compared with partial nephrectomy, new data suggest.
Diagnosis & Disease Information
Cryoablation More Effective for Some Early-Stage Renal Cell Carcinomas
Increased cancer-specific mortality seen with heat-based thermal ablation versus cryoablation for tumor size 3.1 to 4 cm
Thermal Ablation for Kidney Cancer Preserves Kidney Function in CKD
Among patients with CKD stage 3 or higher, the mean estimated glomerular filtration rate remained stable during the 12 months following thermal ablation for localized renal cell carcinoma.
Salvage Cryotherapy for Recurrent PCa May Provide Long-Term Oncologic Control
Salvage cryotherapy is emerging as a viable local treatment option for prostate cancer that recurs following radiation treatment.
Cryoablation Plus ADT for Newly Diagnosed Metastatic PCa Improves Outcomes
In a propensity score-based study, prostate cryoablation added to androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) improved failure-free survival and survival without castration-resistant disease compared with ADT alone.
Prostate Cancer Salvage Cryotherapy May Offer Durable Tumor Control
In a study, patients who underwent salvage cryotherapy for radiorecurrent prostate cancer had cancer-specific and metastasis-free survival rates of 81% and 78%, respectively, at 12 years.
Cryoablation Efficacious for Cancer Pain, Review Finds
Cryoablation also cuts the need for opioids at 24 hours post-treatment and at 3 months.
Focal vs Total PCa Cryoablation Better for Sexual Function
Oncologic outcomes are similar for focal and total cryoablation for localized prostate cancer, but patients report significantly better sexual function after focal cryoablation.
Data Support Biopsy Before Renal Cryo
The recurrence group had significantly larger tumors than the no-recurrence group.
Optimal PSA Nadir After Prostate Cryoablation Identified
A PSA nadir below 0.4 ng/mL offers the best long-term biochemical progression-free survival, study shows.
