Abstrakt: Purpose: Guidelines suggest less favorable cancer control outcomes for local tumor destruction in T1a renal cell carcinoma patients with tumor size 3.1-4 cm. We compared cancer-specific mortality between cryoablation vs heat-based thermal ablation in patients with tumor size 3.1-4 cm, as well as in patients with tumor size ≤3 cm.
Materials and Methods: Within the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database (2004-2018), we identified patients with clinical T1a stage renal cell carcinoma treated with cryoablation or heat-based thermal ablation. After up to 2:1 ratio propensity score matching between patients treated with cryoablation vs heat-based thermal ablation, we addressed cancer-specific mortality relying on competing risks regression models, adjusted for other-cause mortality and other covariates (age, tumor size, tumor grade, and histological subtype).
Results: Of 1,468 assessable patients with tumor size 3.1-4 cm, 1,080 vs 388 were treated with cryoablation vs heat-based thermal ablation, respectively. After up to 2:1 propensity score matching that resulted in 757 cryoablations vs 388 heat-based thermal ablations, in multivariable competing risks regression models, heat-based thermal ablation was associated with higher cancer-specific mortality (HR:2.02, P < . 001), relative to cryoablation. Of 4,468 assessable patients with tumor size ≤3 cm, 3,354 vs 1,114 were treated with cryoablation vs heat-based thermal ablation, respectively. After up to 2:1 propensity score matching that resulted in 2,217 cryoablations vs 1,114 heat-based thermal ablations, in multivariable competing risks regression models, heat-based thermal ablation was not associated with higher cancer-specific mortality (HR:1.13, P = . 5) relative to cryoablation.
Conclusions: Our findings corroborated that in cT1a patients with tumor size 3.1-4 cm, cancer-specific mortality is twofold higher after heat-based thermal ablation vs cryoablation. Conversely, in patients with tumor size ≤3 cm either ablation technique is equally valid. These findings should be considered at clinical decision making and informed consent.
