Computed Tomography Contrast Enhancement Following Renal Cryoablation--Does it Represent Treatment Failure?
Postoperative contrast enhancement is commonly observed after cryoablation and a large portion of these lesions often resolves spontaneously, thus not representing treatment failure. In patients with a high preoperative PADUA score and postoperative contrast enhancement of the cryolesion, treatment failure or recurrent disease should be suspected.
Cancer progression led to half of the SFs in P1s. Physicians should pay attention to the RMH score at the time of patient inclusion to avoid further SFs.
