This 31-patient study, which offers 3-year follow-up, is one of the largest and earliest to show intermediate efficacy for cryoablation. The complication rate of 10% is comparable to the laparoscopic partial data and therefore lends support to cryoablation as a series treatment modality.

It has a large sample size of 56 patients and therefore has spearheaded the rapid acceptance of ablation as a valuable alternative to more invasive procedures.

This article compares laparoscopic partial nephrectomy - the gold standard for T1a lesions - with RF and addresses the efficacy of ablating tumors that would otherwise have been challenging to perform by partial nephrectomy. Intermediate, 3-year data in this series are comparable to partial nephrectomy series.
