• Both RFA and MWA are safe and effective ablation techniques in the treatment of T1a renal cell carcinomas. • High modified RENAL nephrometry scores are associated with shorter local tumor progression-free interval. • MWA can be used as heat-based ablation technique comparable to RFA for the treatment of T1a renal cell carcinomas.
