Abstract
BACKGROUND Large-scale analyses addressing cancer-specific mortality (CSM) in T1a renal cell carcinoma (RCC) patients treated with local tumor destruction (LTD), relative to partial nephrectomy (PN), are scarce. OBJECTIVE To compare CSM after LTD versus PN. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS Within the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database (2004-2018), we identified patients with clinical T1a stage RCC treated with LTD or PN. OUTCOME MEASUREMENTS AND STATISTICAL ANALYSES After 1:1 ratio propensity score matching (PSM) between patients treated with LTD versus PN, competing risks regression (CRR) models addressed CSM, after adjustment for other-cause mortality (OCM) and other covariates (age, tumor size, tumor grade, and histological subtype). RESULTS AND LIMITATIONS Relative to the 35 984 PN patients, 5936 LTD patients were older and more frequently harbored unknown RCC histological subtype or unknown grade. After 1:1 PSM that resulted in 5352 LTD versus 5352 PN patients, the 10-yr CSM rate was 8.7% versus 5.5%. In multivariable CRR models, LTD was associated with higher CSM, relative to PN (hazard ratio [HR]: 1.58, p < 0.001). Subgroup analyses revealed invariably higher CSM after LTD versus PN in patients with tumor size ≤3 cm (10-yr CSM 7.2% vs 5.3%, multivariable HR: 1.47, p < 0.001) and in patients with tumor size 3.1-4 cm (10-yr CSM 11.4% vs 6.1%, multivariable HR: 1.72, p < 0.001). Lack of information regarding earlier cancer controls, retreatment, tumor location within the kidney, and type of surgery represented limitations. CONCLUSIONS In T1a RCC patients, LTD is invariably associated with higher CSM relative to PN, even after adjustment for OCM and all available patient and tumor characteristics, and regardless of tumor size considerations. However, the magnitude of CSM disadvantage was more pronounced in LTD patients with tumor size 3.1-4 cm than in those with tumor size ≤3 cm. PATIENT SUMMARY In patients with small renal masses, we observed higher cancer-specific death rates for local tumor destruction (LTD) than for partial nephrectomy. The LTD disadvantage was more pronounced for patients with tumor size 3.1-4 cm, but was also present in those with tumor size ≤3 cm.

Abstract
With the rapid advancement of imaging equipment and minimally invasive technology, cryoablation technology is being used more frequently in minimally invasive treatment of tumors, primarily for patients with early tumors who voluntarily consent to ablation as well as those with advanced tumors that cannot be surgically removed or cannot be tolerated. Cryoablation is more effective and secure for target lesions than other thermal ablation methods like microwave and radiofrequency ablation (RFA). The study also discovered that cryoablation, in addition to causing tumor tissue necrosis and apoptosis, can facilitate the release of tumor-derived autoantigens into the bloodstream and activate the host immune system to elicit beneficial anti-tumor immunological responses against primary. This may result in regression of the primary tumor and distant metastasis. The additional effect called " Accompanying effects ". It is the basis of combined ablation and immunotherapy for tumor. At present, there is a lot of research on the mechanism of immune response induced by cryoablation. Trying to solve the question: how positively induce immune response. In this review, we focus on: 1. the immune effects induced by cryoablation. 2. the effect and mechanism of tumor immunotherapy combined with cryoablation. 3.The clinical research of this combination therapy in the treatment of tumors.

Abstract
PURPOSE To assess the differential clinical outcomes of patients treated with partial nephrectomy (PN) vs. those treated with ablation therapy (AT) such as radiofrequency ablation, cryoablation and microwave ablation for cT1b compared to cT1a renal tumors. MATERIALS AND METHODS Multiple databases were searched for articles published before August 2021. Studies were deemed eligible if they compared clinical outcomes in patients who underwent PN with those who underwent AT for cT1a and/or cT1b renal tumors. RESULTS Overall, 27 studies comprising 13,996 patients were eligible for this meta-analysis. In both cT1a and cT1b renal tumors, there was no significant difference in the percent decline of estimated glomerular filtration rates or in the overall/severe complication rates between PN and AT. Compared to AT, PN was associated with a lower risk of local recurrence in both patients with cT1a and cT1b tumors (cT1a: pooled risk ratio [RR]; 0.43, 95% confidence intervals [CI]; 0.28-0.66, cT1b: pooled RR; 0.41, 95%CI; 0.23-0.75). Subgroup analyses regarding the technical approach revealed no statistical difference in local recurrence rates between percutaneous AT and PN in patients with cT1a tumors (pooled RR; 0.61, 95%CI; 0.32-1.15). In cT1b, however, PN was associated with a lower risk of local recurrence (pooled RR; 0.45, 95%CI; 0.23-0.88). There was no difference in distant metastasis or cancer mortality rates between PN and AT in patients with cT1a, or cT1b tumors. CONCLUSIONS AT has a substantially relevant disadvantage with regards to local recurrence compared to PN, particularly in cT1b renal tumors. Despite the limitations inherent to the nature of retrospective and unmatched primary cohorts, percutaneous AT could be used as a reasonable alternative treatment for well-selected patients with cT1a renal tumors.

Abstract
BackgroundMinimally invasive partial nephrectomy (MIPN) and focal therapy (FT) are popular trends for small renal masses (SRMs). However, there is currently no systematic comparison between MIPN and FT of SRMs. Therefore, we systematically study the perioperative, renal functional, and oncologic outcomes of MIPN and FT in SRMs.MethodsWe have searched the Embase, Cochrane Library, and PubMed for articles between MIPN (robot-assisted partial nephrectomy and laparoscopic partial nephrectomy) and FT {radiofrequency ablation (RFA), microwave ablation (MWA), cryoablation (CA), irreversible electroporation, non-thermal [irreversible electroporation (IRE)] ablation, and stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT)}. We calculated pooled mean difference (MD), odds ratios (ORs), and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) (CRD42021260787).ResultsA total of 26 articles (n = 4,420) were included in the study. Compared with MIPN, the operating time (OP) of FT had significantly lower (SMD, −1.20; CI, −1.77 to −0.63; I2 = 97.6%, P < 0.0001), estimated blood loss (EBL) of FT had significantly less (SMD, −1.20; CI, −1.77 to −0.63; I2 = 97.6%, P < 0.0001), length of stay (LOS) had shorter (SMD, −0.90; CI, −1.26 to −0.53; I2 = 92.2%, P < 0.0001), and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) of FT was significantly lower decrease (SMD, −0.90; CI, −1.26 to −0.53; I2 = 92.2%, P < 0.0001). However, FT possessed lower risk in minor complications (Clavien 1–2) (OR, 0.69; CI, 0.45 to 1.07; I2 = 47%, P = 0.023) and overall complications (OR, 0.71; CI, 0.51 to 0.99; I2 = 49.2%, P = 0.008). Finally, there are no obvious difference between FT and MIPN in local recurrence, distant metastasis, and major complications (P > 0.05).ConclusionFT has more advantages in protecting kidney function, reducing bleeding, shortening operating time, and shortening the length of stay. There is no difference in local recurrence, distant metastasis, and major complications. For the minimally invasive era, we need to weigh the advantages and disadvantages of all aspects to make comprehensive choices.Systematic Review Registrationhttps://www.crd.york.ac.uk/PROSPERO/#recordDetails, identifier PROSPERO (CRD42021260787).

Abstract
Partial nephrectomy is the optimal surgical approach in the management of small renal masses (SRMs). Focal ablation therapy has an established role in the modern management of SRMs, especially in elderly patients and those with comorbidities. Percutaneous ablation avoids general anaesthesia and laparoscopic ablation can avoid excessive dissection; hence, these techniques can be suitable for patients who are not ideal surgical candidates. Several ablation modalities exist, of which radiofrequency ablation and cryoablation are most widely applied and for which safety and oncological efficacy approach equivalency to partial nephrectomy. Data supporting efficacy and safety of ablation techniques continue to mature, but they originate in institutional case series that are confounded by cohort heterogeneity, selection bias, and lack of long-term follow-up periods. Image guidance and surveillance protocols after ablation vary and no consensus has been established. The importance of SRM biopsy, its optimal timing, the type of biopsy used, and its role in treatment selection continue to be debated. As safety data for active surveillance and experience with minimally invasive partial nephrectomy are expanding, the role of focal ablation therapy in the treatment of patients with SRMs requires continued evaluation.
