Interventional Management of a Renal Cell Carcinoma by Radiofrequency Ablation with Tagging and Cooling
نویسندگان
چکیده
Over the last few years, percutaneous radiofrequency (RF) ablation has been successfully established as a viable treatment modality for small peripheral renal cell carcinoma (RCC). This technique is limited by central tumor location and tumor size. We report the interventional management of a 5.3 cm mixed RCC with central and exophytic parts by combining the RF ablation with embolization, tagging, and retrograde, as well as anterograde cooling. The potential pitfalls of complex hybrid interventions for treating RCC are discussed.

Radiofrequency thermal ablation of a splenic metastasis.
Effective local ablation of large tumors with radiofrequency has been made possible by recent advancements. Tumor ablation with radiofrequency has been described mainly in the liver, but also recently in the kidney, adrenal gland, lung, and breast. A rapidly growing splenic metastasis from renal cell carcinoma was effectively treated percutaneously, with US guidance. Focal splenic disease may n...

متن کاملI-46: Radiofrequency Ablation of Uterine Fibroids
Uterine fibroids are benign solid tumors that are present in the majority of women. While often asymptomatic, fibroids can result in abnormal uterine bleeding, pelvic pressure, pain, subfertility, dyspareunia and other symptoms. Submucous and intramural fibroids are most associated with heavy menstrual bleeding; subserosal fibroids are more often innocuous unless sufficiently large so as to con...

The standard therapy for thyroid cancer is total or near total thyroidectomy, followed by the administration of radioactive iodine for remnant ablation or residual disease. Patients with radioiodine therapy are predisposed to second malignant neoplasms in organs such as central nervous system (CNS), breast, prostate, kidney, bone marrow, salivary gland, and digestive tract. Exposure to carcinog...
متن کاملA Rare Case of Nephrocolic Fistula Resulting from Radio Frequency Ablation (RFA) of Renal Cell Carcinoma
Nephrocolic fistula is a rare, abnormal fistulous connection between the urinary system (kidney/ureters) and colon. Different benign and malignant etiologies are implicated in the formation of a nephrocolic fistula. Even though conservative treatment options have been tried recently (especially for benign etiologies), surgical resection has been the treatment of choice and should be pursued if ...
