9. Svensk Sammanfattning (Summary in Swedish)

9.1 Delarbete I

Tidigare studier har visat att tumörstorlek kan begränsa behandlingseffekten vid RFA. Målsättningen var att undersöka vilka faktorer som påverkar be- handlingseffekten vid behandling av små njurtumörer med RFA. En retro- spektiv genomgång utfördes av 52 njurtumörer vilka hade RF-abladerats från 2007 till 2012 på Akademiska Sjukhuset. Samtliga DT-undersökningar före, under och efter behandling granskades inklusive alla kontrollundersökningar. På dessa bedömdes tumörkarakteristika (lokalisation, storlek) samt RF-elek- trodplacering. Från journalen inhämtades uppgifter rörande patient (kön och ålder) och tumör (histopatologisk diagnos). Resultaten visade att en optimal elektrodplacering ökade sannolikheten att uppnå en fullständig ablation efter en behandlingsomgång. Tumörer med en central lokalisation i njuren var svå- rare att fullständigt behandla med endast en ablationsomgång.

9.2 Delarbete II

Allt fler retrospektiva studier har visat jämförbara onkologiska resultat mellan RFA och kirurgisk resektion vid behandling av små njurtumörer. Men vid val av behandlingsmetod måste även hänsyn tas till komplikationsriskerna, pati- ent morbiditeten och kostnaderna. Målet var att jämföra RFA och laparosko- pisk njurresektion (LPN) avseende behandlingseffekt, behandlings- och vård- tid samt komplikationer. Retrospektivt utvärderades 49 LPN- och 84 RFA- behandlade patienter med endast en njurtumör (≤5 cm). Genomgången inne- bar journal- och DT granskning av samtliga pre-operativa undersökningar samt postoperativa kontroller. Resultaten visade att båda behandlingsme-

toderna uppnådde jämförbara behandlingseffekter. RFA innebar fler behand- lingsomgångar, men trots detta var den totala behandlingstiden och vårdtiden betydligt kortare och komplikationsfrekvensen var lägre för dessa jämfört med de LPN-behandlade patienterna.

9.3 Delarbete III

Både RFA och LPN har som mål att vara nefronsparande vid behandling. Men tidigare studier, som utvärderar njurfunktion utifrån blodprover (kreatinin och eGFR), har redovisat motstridiga resultat, utan att utvärdera hur det kvarva- rande njurparenkymet påverkas av behandling. På en kontrastmedelsförstärkt DT kan både kvantitet och kvalitet av njurfunktionen utvärderas genom be- räkning av ”split renal function” (SRF). Målet var att jämföra njurfunktions- påverkan vid RFA och LPN behandling genom beräkning av SRF och utvär- dering av rutinblodprover. Retrospektivt jämfördes 60 RFA och 31 LPN pati- enter behandlade för en tumör vardera. SRF beräknades före och efter behand- ling och njurfunktionsvärden (kreatinin och eGFR) samlades in. Resultaten visade att i båda grupperna minskade SRF i den drabbade njuren, men denna minskning var mer påtaglig i LPN-gruppen. Det fanns ingen skillnad i föränd- ringen av njurfuktionsvärden mellan grupperna.

9.4 Delarbete IV

Mikrovågsablation (MWA) har introducerats med flera fördelar, bl.a. möjlig- gör tekniken kortare ablationstider och en mer förutsägbar ablationszon jäm- fört med RFA. Behandlingen ses fortfarande som experimentell då det finns få långtidsuppföljningar som utvärderar metoden. På Akademiska sjukhuset har MWA använts för behandling av njurtumörer sedan 2014. Målet var att retrospektivt utvärdera behandlingseffekten och komplikationer vid kurativ syftande MWA-behandling av små njurtumörer. Totalt inkluderades 105 bi- opsiverifierade njurtumörer behandlade från april 2014 till augusti 2017 med en medianuppföljningstid på 2 år. Retrospektivt utvärderades samtliga DT- undersökningar (före, under och efter behandling) och från journalen inhäm- tades patient- och tumörinformation samt eventuella behandlingskomplikat- ioner. Resultaten visade goda behandlingseffekter, jämförbara med tidigare ablations-studier samt metaanalyser och komplikationsfrekvensen var låg.

9.5 Konklusion

Perkutan DT-vägledd ablation är en effektiv metod vid behandling av små njurtumörer. Metoden är säker, komplikationsfrekvensen är låg och påverkan

på njurfunktionen är mycket liten. Genom ökad kunskap kring behandlings- metodens fördelar och begränsningar kan vi förbättra urvalet av de patienter som kommer att gynnas av behandling.
