The purpose of this article is to retrospectively evaluate the long-term outcome of patients treated with percutaneous thermoablation for renal cell carcinomas that have arisen in kidney grafts. Between April 2008 and February 2011, we treated 3 patients with renal cell carcinoma on a transplanted kidney: 2 cases were treated with high-intensity focused ultrasonography and 1 patient with radio frequency ablation. Postprocedural ultrasonography did not reveal any complications, and contrast-enhanced ultrasonography showed an avascular area in the treated nodules. None of the patients had recurrent tumors during a long-term clinical and radiologic follow-up (81, 73, and 43 months, respectively).
本文旨在回顾性评估经皮热消融治疗移植肾来源肾细胞癌的长期疗效。2008 年 4 月至 2011 年 2 月，我们对 3 例移植肾肾细胞癌患者进行了治疗：2 例采用高强度聚焦超声治疗，1 例采用射频消融治疗。术后超声检查未见任何并发症，增强超声显示治疗结节内无血供区。所有患者在长期临床和影像学随访中均未发现肿瘤复发（分别为 81、73 和 43 个月）。
