Active SurveillanceActive Surveillance• Active surveillance is defined as the initial
monitoring of tumour size by serial abdominal imaging (ultrasound, CT, or MRI) with delayed intervention reserved for those tumours that show clinical progression during follow-up
• Active surveillance is a reasonable option for elderly and/or comorbid patients with small renal masses and limited life expectancy

Active SurveillanceActive Surveillance
Lane B. et al. Curr Opin Urol 2012; 22: 353-59
• SRMs less than 3 cm are very unlikely to metastasize and deferring treatment has not been associated with increased failure to cure.
• Active surveillance is a reasonable initial strategy in most patients with SRMs, particularly those with limited life-expectancy and increased perioperative risk.
• Intervention should be considered for growth to greater than 3–4 cm or by greater than 0.4–0.5 cm/year while on active surveillance.
Surveillance protocols Surveillance protocols • A definite protocol for ‘active’ surveillance of SRMs has yet to be defined
• A suggested approach consists to alternate between US and cross-sectional (CT or magnetic resonance) imaging (some would argue that the inconsistency in size estimates using multiple modalities is a weakness of this approach)
• Imaging interval: every 3 months for 1 year, every 6 months for the second year, and annually thereafter

• Recommended
in cT1a cases with major comorbidities and increased surgical risk
• Optional
in healthy patients with cT1a tumor
• Investigational
In all cases
• Grade A
Patients with small tumours and/or significant comorbidity who are unfit for surgery should be considered for an ablative approach
• Category 2A
AT can be considered for patients with cT1a renal lesions and who are not surgical candidates
Indications for Ablative Therapies
Oncological aim of ablative Oncological aim of ablative technologytechnology
• Ablative technology must be able to completly destroy all viable tissue, with no area of viable tissue left
• The surgeon must be able to monitor and precisely target the area to be ablated to assure complete tumour destrucion
• Low morbidity
Mechanisms of CryoablationMechanisms of Cryoablation

Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA): Tumour “skipping”
• Persistence of viable tumour cells within RFA-treated renal masses
• Are all these skipped lesion going to cause tumour recurrence ?
• (?) Fixation effect of RF energy

• Radiographic follow-up (CT scan or MRI) - enhancement on post-contrast imaging is considered evidence of incompletely treated disease - Grossly viable disease
• Percutaneous biopsies - viable tumour may be present despite a lack of radiographic enhancement - microscopic disease
