The main objective is to evaluate the oncologic efficacy of percutaneous cryoablation of renal tumors smaller than 4 cm in patients with renal cancer that cannot be offered a partial nephrectomy. The oncologic outcome will be assessed by the presence or absence of residue or recurrence during a follow-up by MRI performed the first 12 months (M1, M3, M6, M12).

Suspicious contrast enhancement and progression in size of the cryolesion detected by MRI
The success of cryoablation will be declared if the control at 1 year shows no suspicious contrast enhancement (the suspicious character is defined by significant contrast uptake (\>15%) and heterogeneous or nodular or crescent-shape contrast enhancement) and if the cryolesion is not progressing in size compared to early post-ablation control (M1).
Time frame: 1 year
