Abstract
RFA causes heterogenous tissue changes, associating necrotic and ischemic zones and an apoptotic reaction. The mechanisms of these changes and their therapeutic significance should be studied. CT-scans performed immediately after RFA procedure and one month later are not predictive of the efficacy of the treatment because an enhancement of the AZ does not mean that it is not necrotic. The value of a CT-scan performed one month after the procedure is debatable, because the tissue remodeling that occurs in the kidneys is not definitive at this time-point.
