Abstract
Purpose This study aimed to investigate the feasibility, safety, and efficacy of computed tomography (CT)-guided percutaneous coaxial biopsy combined with microwave ablation (MWA) for the treatment of renal masses. Material and methods The clinical data of ten patients (14 tumors) treated with CT-guided percutaneous coaxial biopsy combined with MWA from January 2017 to November 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were followed up for 2–33 months. The outcomes were evaluated with plain and contrast spiral CT scans. Renal function was assessed using the estimated glomerular filtration rate. Results No severe MWA-related complication was observed. All the tumors were successfully ablated. There was no imaging evidence of local residual tumor, local tumor recurrence, or disease progression during the follow-up period. Conclusions CT-guided percutaneous coaxial biopsy combined with MWA might be an effective option for the diagnosis and treatment of renal masses in selected patients.
