Intermediate-Term Oncologic Outcomes of Partial Nephrectomy vs Cryoablation in Renal Tumors > 3 cm: A Propensity Score–Matched Analysis
CA is associated with lower DFS but similar MFS and CSS compared with PN in renal masses > 3 cm. CA is a viable option for well-selected patients with comorbidities or high surgical risk, when combined with salvage ablation as indicated.
