Abstract

The proportion of renal tumors found incidentally has dramatically increased in the past decade. More than half were diagnosed in patients over 70 years of age, a population with a high rate of associated comorbidity. Nephron-sparing minimally invasive surgical procedures are aimed at treating patients with small renal tumors and multiple comorbidities. Cryotherapy stands out among all other ablative procedures because of its better mid-term oncological outcome.

A non-systematic review of the literature on cryotherapy as a treatment for renal tumors was made, analyzing its indications, actual and future application techniques, results, and complications.

Keywords:

Resumen

Las técnicas ablativas mínimamente invasivas conservadoras de parénquima están destinadas a tratar a pacientes con tumores renales pequeños y múltiple comorbilidad. La crioterapia destaca sobre otras técnicas ablativas por sus mejores resultados oncológicos a medio plazo.
