MRI-guided laser ablation of neuroendocrine tumor hepatic metastases
BACKGROUND Neuroendocrine tumors (NET) represent a therapeutically challenging and heterogeneous group of malignancies occurring throughout the body, but mainly in the gastrointestinal system. PURPOSE To describe magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-guided laser ablation of NET liver metastases and assess its role within the current treatment options and methods. MATERIAL AND METHODS Two patien...
متن کاملCT-guided laser probe for ablation of brain tumors
In this study, 22 patients (15-75 years old) were selected and transferred to CT scan for tumor ablation. For ablations, after prep and drep under the local anesthesia and mild sedation in proper position, small incision made and special needle inserted and guided by proper direction to the core of the tumor. Then, laser probe inserted through the needle and laser energy delivered. Although we ...
متن کاملEndoscopic ultrasound-guided radiofrequency ablation of a pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor.
Radiofrequency ablation (RFA), a method of achieving tumor necrosis by cell protein denaturation that is induced by heating tissues to above 45°C, is applied in the treatment of several malignancies. Energy is provided by an RFA current generator, which is connected to an active electrode needle that is placed into the tumor under image guidance. The lesions created have variable diameters, dep...
متن کاملPreliminary results of ultrasound-guided laser ablation for unresectable metastases to retroperitoneal and hepatic portal lymph nodes
BACKGROUND Laser ablation with a neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet (Nd:YAG) laser is a minimally invasive approach which is able to achieve a precise tissue necrosis. The study was aimed to assess the feasibility and efficiency of laser ablation in the treatment of retroperitoneal and hepatic portal unresectable metastatic lymph nodes. METHODS Eight patients including 11 pathologically ...
متن کاملMiliary hepatic metastases from neuroendocrine carcinoma.
A 57-year-old man with a bronchial carcinoid, metastatic from 1999, underwent cholecystectomy in 2004, due to lithiasis, probably caused by long-lasting therapy with somatostatin analogs. Liver metastases had been known since 2002 on the basis of a previous computed tomography (CT) and somatostatin receptor scintigraphy (SRS). Intraoperatively a miliariform hepatic dissemination was evident ( f...
