Image-guided ablation of renal cell carcinoma

Clinical Radiology

Abstract

This review article aims to provide an overview of image-guided ablation of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) since it was first introduced in 1998. This will cover the background and rationale behind its development; an overview of the evidence for current thermal technology, such as heat-based, e.g., radiofrequency ablation (RFA), microwave ablation (MWA), and cold-based energies, e.g., cryoablation used; and summarise the published evidence regarding its treatment efficacy and oncological outcome. In addition, it aims to provide an insight into the potential role of the new non-thermal ablative technology, e.g., irreversible electroporation (IRE)/Nanoknife in image-guided ablation of RCC, as well as areas of challenge that will require further research and clinical evaluation to ensure delivery of a quality patient-centred interventional oncology (IO) service in image-guided ablation of RCC.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.
