- Authors
Rane, Abhay; Stein, Robert; Cadeddu, Jeffrey
- Abstract
The authors discuss the application of focal therapy for detecting mass lesions in the kidney, highlighting the increasing use of cross-sectional imaging techniques. They also discuss the application of nephron-sparing surgery (NSS) which appears to be the benchmark for elective treatment. Focal therapy being presented includes cryoablation, radiofrequency ablation (RFA), and thermotherapy.
