Healthcare research analyses whether treatment concepts developed in controlled clinical trials and recommended in clinical guidelines are implemented in routine care. This article presents healthcare research data on RCC based on current results from the prospective VERSUS study (VERSorgUngsStudie) by d-uo (\"Deutsche Uro-Onkologen\", German Uro-Oncologists).</p><p><strong>Material and methods: </strong>The VERSUS study is a non-interventional, prospective, multicentric study designed to document and descriptively analyze diagnosis, treatment and aftercare of uro-oncological patients.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Out of 31.419 patients currently enrolled in the VERSUS study, 2.526 were diagnosed with RCC. The diagnosis was symptom-driven in 22.7% of cases and detected through screening in 38.1%. Among symptomatic patients, men presented with UICC stage III or IV disease in 38.3% of cases, compared with only 24.8% among women.

While partial nephrectomy remains the reference standard, percutaneous image-guided cryoablation represents an appealing alternative for elderly and/or morbid patients, providing short recovery times and aiming to preserve renal function to the greatest extent possible.Technically, the procedure relies on cryoprobes (argon/liquid nitrogen) and employes two freeze-thaw cycles. A key advantage is the excellent visualization of the developing \"ice ball\" on CT or MRI, which allows for real-time assessment of the ablation zone. A pre-procedural percutaneous tumor biopsy is recommended to confirm histology and grade of malignancy.The available evidence is largely based on retrospective cohort and registry data. There is a lack of randomized long-term comparative studies. Overall, high rates of oncologic control have been reported, but there is a tendency towards a higher risk of local recurrence compared with partial nephrectomy, particularly in larger lesions. Standardized follow-up protocols and prospective data are essential to better define indications, refine combination techniques, and assess long-term outcomes.</p>","PeriodicalId":7513,"journal":{"name":"Aktuelle Urologie","volume":" ","pages":"191-196"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2026-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147472282","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
