Ablation of Renal Masses
The American Urological Association (AUA) and the AUA Foundation believe that various new ablative technologies (e.g., cryotherapy, radio-frequency, microwave, etc.) are appropriate methods of treatment for renal masses in properly selected patients. Moreover, urologists trained in these open, laparoscopic or percutaneous technologies are capable of providing these services in a safe and effective manner and should be involved in the management of all renal masses.
