Abstract

Background: The aim is to determine the long-term oncologic and survival outcomes of the radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of solitary de novo T1a renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Materials and methods: We retrospectively reviewed our renal ablation registry and included only patients with new solitary, biopsy-proven T1a RCC (<4 cm) who underwent RFA from January 2001 through December 2020. We collected patient and tumor characteristics. Survival rates were estimated using the Kaplan–Meier method. Results: Of the 243 patients who met our inclusion criteria (160 male and 83 female, median age 68 years), 128 (52.6%) had another primary malignancy other than renal malignancy. Two-hundred forty-three RFA procedures were performed for 243 renal tumors of a median tumor size of 2.5 cm. The median follow-up period was 3.7 years. Most tumors (68.6%) were clear cell RCC. Ten patients (4.1%) experienced Clavien–Dindo Grade III complications. Seven patients(3.1%) developed recurrence at the ablation zone, and 11 (4.5%) developed recurrence elsewhere in the kidney. The 15-year local-recurrence- and disease-free survival were 96.5% and 88.6%, respectively. The 15-year metastasis-free survival and cancer-specific survival were 100%. Conclusions: RFA is a highly effective modality for the management of T1a RCC, with low complication and recurrence rates. Long-term data revealed favorable oncologic and survival outcomes.
