Microwave ablation uses microwave energy
Microwave ablation uses microwave energy to generate heat to kill and shrink cancerous tumor cells in your kidney, lungs and liver
Principle
By causing oscillation of polar water molecules, microwaves produce frictional heating and ultimately induce cellular death via coagulation necrosis.
How its done
Your physician will use a CT scan to locate the tumor and then insert the microwave antenna through a small incision,
with continued assistance from the CT, the probe or antenna would be guided to the tumor
Once the energy source is activated, the heat shrinks and kills cancerous tumor cells, turning them to scar tissue.
Because heat also helps close blood vessels nearby, you are typically at a lower risk for blood loss.
How its used...
Its used to treat various cancers siuch as...
hepatocellular carcinoma
metastases from colorectal cancer
advanced and non-resectable pancreatic tumors
small renal masses
lung tumors
painful metastatic lesions
osteoid osteoma
