Effect of lipiodol marking before CT-guided cryoablation on the outcome of sporadic renal cell carcinoma.
Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology : Official Journal of the Turkish Society of Radiology 2024 January 3
PURPOSE: This retrospective study evaluates the impact of preoperative lipiodol marking on the outcomes of computed tomography (CT)-guided cryoablation for histologically diagnosed sporadic renal cell carcinoma (RCC).
METHODS: This study analyzed the data of 173 patients who underwent CT-guided cryoablation for histologically proven sporadic RCC at a single institution between April 2014 and December 2020. The local control rate (LCR), recurrence-free survival rate (RFSR), overall survival rate (OSR), changes in renal function, and complications in patients with (n = 85) and without (n = 88) preoperative lipiodol marking were compared.
RESULTS: The 5-year LCR and 5-year RFSR were significantly higher in patients with lipiodol marking (97.51% and 93.84%, respectively) than in those without (72.38% and 68.10%, respectively) ( P value <0.01, log-rank test). There were no significant differences between the two groups regarding the 5-year OSR (97.50% vs. 86.82%) or the deterioration in chronic kidney disease stage (12.70% vs. 16.43%). Grade ≥3 complications occurred in patients with lipiodol marking (n = 2, retroperitoneal hematoma and cerebral infarction in 1 patient each) and without (n = 5; urinary fistula in 2, colonic perforation in 2, urinary infection in 1).
CONCLUSION: Lipiodol marking before CT-guided cryoablation for sporadic RCC is a feasible approach to improving local control and RFS while mitigating the decline in renal function. Additionally, it may help reduce complications.
