Meta-analysis of cryoablation versus microwave ablation for small renal masses: is there a difference in outcome?

Published: Oct 1, 2013
Abstract
We aimed to compare local and metastatic recurrence of small renal masses primarily treated by cryoablation or microwave ablation.The MEDLINE, CINAHL, and PUBMED databases were searched to review the treatment of small renal masses with cryoablation or microwave ablation. Fifty-one studies met the inclusion criteria.Fifty-one studies representing 3950 kidney lesions were analyzed. No differences were detected in the mean patient age (P = 0.150)...
