Abstract
Currently, renal cell carcinoma is one of the most common malignant neoplasms, the main treatment method of which is surgery. However, surgical treatment in some cases may be accompanied by deterioration of renal function, which dictates the need to search for alternative treatment methods. This review examines the possibilities of a minimally invasive, radiosurgical procedure – transarterial embolization of the renal arteries in the treatment of renal cell carcinoma. Options for performing this procedure and indications for them are given, the results of using transarterial embolization of the renal arteries for renal cell carcinoma are analyzed, and possible complications are described. The advantages of the method are indicated. The need for further large-scale scientific research devoted to studying the effectiveness and safety of transarterial embolization of the renal artery for renal cell carcinoma is urgent.
