Thermal ablations are feasible, safe, and effective to treat T1b renal clear cell carcinoma. More trials are necessary to determine the rate of the evidence of the benefit.HighlightsThermal ablations are feasible and safe to treat T1b renal clear cell carcinoma.Oncologic outcomes appear to be very good on both local control and distant progression.Due to small number and heterogeneity of studies more trials are necessary to determine the rate of the evidence of the benefit.
