About this trial
This observational study is designed to expand the current database available in the literature and the existing knowledge on the outcomes and safety of radiofrequency ablation (RFA) for the treatment of primary renal cell carcinomas in stage T1a. All interventions and subsequent follow-ups are clinical decisions are independent of the study, given its observational nature.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Age ≥18 years
Signed informed consent approved by the Ethics Committee prior to the ablation procedure.
RCC in stage T1a (size <4 cm), single or multiple, histologically demonstrated by percutaneous biopsy before or within 30 days prior to ablation
Absence of comorbidities that contraindicate treatment
Disqualifiers
No specific exclusion criteria are established for this clinical registry due to its observational nature. Each center will apply its own criteria according to its routine clinical practice.
