To test TRIFECTA achievement [1) absence of CLAVIEN-DINDO ≥3 complications; 2) complete ablation; 3) absence of ≥30% decrease in eGFR] and local recurrence rates, according to tumor size, in patients treated with thermal ablation (TA: radiofrequency [RFA] and microwave ablation [MWA]) for small renal masses.
Retrospective analysis (2008-2020) of 432 patients treated with TA (RFA: 162 vs. MWA: 270). Tumor size was evaluated as: 1) continuously coded variable (cm); 2) tumor size strata (0.1-2 vs. 2.1-3 vs. 3.1-4 vs. >4 cm). Multivariable logistic regression models and a minimum P-value approach were used for testing TRIFECTA achievement. Kaplan-Meier plots depicted local recurrence rates over time.
Overall, 162 (37.5%) vs. 140 (32.4%) vs. 82 (19.0%) vs. 48 (11.1%) patients harboured, respectively, 0.1 to 2 vs. 2.1 to 3 vs. 3.1 to 4 vs. >4 cm tumors. In multivariable logistic regression models, increasing tumor size was associated with higher rates of no TRIFECTA achievement (OR:1.11; P< 0.001). Using a minimum P-value approach, an optimal tumor size cut-off of 3.2 cm was identified (P< 0.001). In multivariable logistic regression models, 3.1 to 4 cm tumors (OR:1.27; P< 0.001) and >4 cm tumors (OR:1.49; P< 0.001), but not 2.1 to 3 cm tumors (OR:1.05; P= 0.3) were associated with higher rates of no TRIFECTA achievement, relative to 0.1 to 2 cm tumors. The same results were observed in separate analyses of RFA vs. MWA patients. After a median (IQR) follow-up time of 22 (12-44) months, 8 (4.9%), 8 (5.7%), 11 (13.4%), and 5 (10.4%) local recurrences were observed in tumors sized 0.1 to 2 vs. 2.1 to 3 vs. 3.1 to 4 vs. >4 cm, respectively (P= 0.01).
A tumor size cut-off value of ≤3 cm is associated with higher rates of TRIFECTA achievement and lower rates of local recurrence over time in patients treated with TA for small renal masses.
根据肿瘤大小,测试接受热消融(TA:射频[RFA]和微波消融[MWA])治疗的小肾肿瘤患者的 TRIFECTA 实现[1)无 CLAVIEN-DINDO ≥3 并发症;2)完全消融;3)eGFR 下降≥30%)和局部复发率。
回顾性分析(2008-2020 年)432 例接受 TA(RFA:162 例 vs. MWA:270 例)治疗的患者。肿瘤大小评估为:1)连续编码变量(cm);2)肿瘤大小分层(0.1-2 vs. 2.1-3 vs. 3.1-4 vs. >4 cm)。使用多变量逻辑回归模型和最小 P 值方法检验 TRIFECTA 实现情况。Kaplan-Meier 图描绘了随时间推移的局部复发率。
总体而言,分别有 162(37.5%)、140(32.4%)、82(19.0%)和 48(11.1%)例患者的肿瘤大小为 0.1-2、2.1-3、3.1-4 和 >4 cm。多变量逻辑回归模型显示,肿瘤大小增加与 TRIFECTA 实现率降低相关(OR:1.11;P<0.001)。使用最小 P 值方法,确定了 3.2 cm 的最佳肿瘤大小截断值(P<0.001)。多变量逻辑回归模型显示,3.1-4 cm 肿瘤(OR:1.27;P<0.001)和 >4 cm 肿瘤(OR:1.49;P<0.001),而不是 2.1-3 cm 肿瘤(OR:1.05;P=0.3),与 TRIFECTA 实现率降低相关,与 0.1-2 cm 肿瘤相比。在 RFA 与 MWA 患者的单独分析中观察到了相同的结果。在中位(IQR)随访时间 22(12-44)个月后,肿瘤大小为 0.1-2、2.1-3、3.1-4 和 >4 cm 的患者中分别观察到 8(4.9%)、8(5.7%)、11(13.4%)和 5(10.4%)例局部复发(P=0.01)。
在接受 TA 治疗小肾肿瘤的患者中,肿瘤大小≤3 cm 与 TRIFECTA 实现率较高和局部复发率较低相关。
