Table 2 Advantages and limitations of conservative treatments of localised allograft renal cell carcinoma
| Advantages | Limitations | |
| Nephron-sparing surgery | Complete tumour removal | Technically demanding |
| Definitive histology | Invasive | |
| Easy imaging-based follow-up | Higher peri-operative complication rate | |
| Good preliminary results with T1bN0M0 | Higher risk of allograft dysfunction | |
| Focal ablation | Minimally invasive | Higher risk of primary treatment failure |
| Highly selective | Lack of definitive histology | |
| Can treat centrally located lesions | Difficult imaging-based follow-up | |
| Lower peri-operative complication rate | Dubious results with T1bN0M0 | |
| Better allograft function preservation |
