This is a method for treating some tumors using the concept of thermal ablation. We currently offer RFA of osteoid osteomas, other painful bone metastases, lung cancers and liver cancers.
RFA is a technique that uses thermal ablation to "cook" lesions. Using an electrode and an RF generation adequate heat is generated inside a tumor, by placing the electrode within the tumor.
RFA is a well-validated technique for the treatment of liver and lung cancers, for the ablation of osteoid osteomas and for treating the pain associated with bone metastases. It has also been used for adrenal tumors as well as sporadically in other sites. |
