Recent research addresses RFA for renal cancers

Two dozen peer-reviewed journal articles from 2003 to 2005 address different aspects of renal RFA. General review articles are included, as well as cost comparisons, comparisons of techniques, comparisons with other therapies, and literature reviews.
