Treatment of small renal tumors with ablative techniques

Small renal tumor is a radiologically detected renal mass up to four cm in diameter. Surgery is the main therapeutic option in the treatment of these tumors, but in elderly and comorbid patients ablative techniques are the alternative. The aim of this paper is to report our experience in the treatme...
