• The use of biopsy pre-ablation session has increased significantly from 42% of all patients in 2015 to 74% in 2019. • Patients are less likely to be treated for a benign tumour if they presented later in the trend, where pre-cryoablation biopsy is more prevalent, compared to later in the trend (OR 0.64, 95% CI 0.51-0.81, p < 0.001). • Patients with comorbidities or a complex tumour (R.E.N.A.L. nephrometry score > 10) are less likely to not undergo biopsy as a separate session to cryoablation.
