Radiofrequency ablation safe for multifocal renal neoplasms
Friday, December 3 | 10:40 a.m.-10:50 a.m. | SST16-02 | Room E353BRadiofrequency ablation is a good renal sparing alternative to surgery for patients with multifocal renal tumors, and the complication rate is no higher than for patients with single tumors, researchers from Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center in Winston-Salem, NC, have found.
