Published results:
Of 7 patients with tumor recurrence after nephron-sparing surgery, none of the treated tumor lesions demonstrated contrast enhancement or growth on follow up imaging indicating a 100% oncologic success. Only three adverse events were recorded. Investigators found cryoablation with the ProSense™ system is feasible and effective, with excellent renal function preservation and without major complications.
