| Abstract |
To provide the technical aspects of, clinical indications for, status of the current literature on, and emerging concepts in trans-arterial embolization (TAE) for renal cell carcinoma. TAE has been evaluated in several retrospective series as a neoadjuvant therapy prior to surgical resection of RCC to reduce tumor vascularity and minimize intra-operative blood loss. TAE has also been examined retrospectively as a neoadjuvant therapy prior to the percutaneous ablation of RCC to reduce blood loss and procedural complications. TAE can potentially palliate symptoms of RCC such as pain and hematuria. Trans-arterial chemoembolization and trans-arterial radioembolization are emerging concepts for RCC. Although there have been no prospective, randomized trials demonstrating improved clinical or oncologic outcomes from TAE for patients with RCC, several retrospective studies have shown encouraging results. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 13. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 17 July 2019.
All research outputs
#2,536,762
of 23,837,558 outputs
Outputs from Current Urology Reports
#54
of 607 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#52,508
of 332,654 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Current Urology Reports
#1
of 17 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,837,558 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 89th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 607 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 6.3. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 91% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 332,654 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 84% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 17 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 99% of its contemporaries.
