Abstract:
With the advent of continuous development of radiofrequency ablation(RFA), this technique has been increasingly used in the treatment of renal cell carcinomas during recent years, with a significant therapeutic effect clinically. RFA is characteristic with the advantages of safety, convenience, minimal invasion, less complications and suffering. The improvement of the electrode needle, the radiofrequency techniques and the combination of other treatments are the key of the development of RFA in the near future. And more reasonable criteria for evaluating the therapeutic effects including imaging techniques are also needed to be set up.
