Residual And Recurrent Disease Following Renal Energy Ablative Therapy: A Multi-Institutional Study

UroToday.com - Even as the use of ablative strategies for renal masses such as radiofrequency ablation (RFA) and cryoablation has continued to expand, no guidelines have been proposed for patient follow-up based on the risk of the recurrence.

In the November issue of the Journal of Urology, Matin and colleagues present data from a multi-institutional study designed to evaluate the recurrence patterns after renal RFA.

Data from 7 institutions were compiled for a total of 616 patients who underwent renal cryoablation or RFA. Different schedules for surveillance had been used at each institution based on preference.

After a mean follow-up of 2 years, 13.4% of patients developed recurrence after renal RFA and 3.9% recurred after cryoablation, for a median recurrence rate of 8.7%. Seventy percent of those patients with incompletely treated tumors were identified within the first 3 months of treatment. Over 95% of patients with treatment failure were salvaged with a renal ablative strategy. The overall 2-year metastasis free survival was 97% for patients with localized, unilateral tumors.

The authors are to be congratulated for collaborating for the benefit of proposing recommendations for risk-based surveillance. These data suggest that the majority of patients with treatment failure will be identified within 3 months. Contrast enhanced imaging studies were recommended at months 1, 3, 6 (optional), and 12 months in the first year after treatment.
