Radio-frequency ablation: new technology for palliative treatment of hematuria in disseminated renal cell carcinoma.
Hematuria is often a significant symptom in patients with disseminated renal cell carcinoma. We present a case in which the minimally invasive procedure of radio-frequency ablation was used in a patient with serious hematuria. The procedure was completely successful and there were no complications. In our opinion it may be recommended in such a situation.
