Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: - one or more localized, resectable kidney tumors (=4 cm) suspicious of malignancy or histology -proven renal cell cancer (RCC) - patients desire for therapy and surgical therapy - Karnofsky-index >70% and ECOG = 1 - Age = 18 Jahre - life expectancy = 12 month - compliance of the patient taking part in a study - informed consent

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: - violation against one or more inclusion criterias - cardial pacemaker or other electrical implants - QT-intervall >550 ms or cardiac arrhythmias or condition after myocardial infarction, that make an ECG-synchronisation unfeasible - known cardial ejection fraction 50 - MRI incompatibility - metal implants <1 cm closed to the kidney / kidney tumor - contraindication for biopsy and punction of the renal tumor under CT-guidance

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Treatment effectivness of the irreversible electroporation (IRE) with regard to rate of persisting active tumor tissue in the histopathological and radiological examination 4 weeks after IRE.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1) Procedural compatibility of IRE and the following tumor area resection. 2) Side effects of percutaneous IRE of localized renal tumors. 3) Life quality after IRE (EORTC CQLQ-30, VAS). Observationtime (day -1 to day +102). Follow-up after IRE of the kidney tumor = 16 weeks = 4 month. Follow-up after partial or total kidney resection = 11 weeks = 3 month.
