The current cytostatic agents mainly interfere with processes involved in cell growth while the aim in immunotherapy is to make immune effector cells to selectively attack the tumor cells. A recent approach to fight tumor is to impede and interfere with its blood supply, i.e., turning off angiogenesis or n...

متن کاملRadiofrequency Ablation of Miscellaneous Solid Tumors Excluding Liver Tumors - 121616
In radiofrequency ablation (RFA), a probe is inserted into the center of a tumor and the noninsulated electrodes, which are shaped like prongs, are projected into the tumor; a heat is then generated locally by a high-frequency, alternating current that flows from the electrodes. The local heat treats the tissue adjacent to the probe, resulting in a 3 cm to 5.5 cm sphere of dead tissue. The cell...
