Image-Guided Percutaneous Ablation of Renal Tumors
Renal tumors account for more than 50,000 new cases annually in the United States with a rising incidence (Chow et al., 1999). This is mainly because of an increase in diagnosis due to widespread use of cross-sectional imaging (Pantuck et al., 2001). Renal cell carcinoma constitutes 4% of all adult malignancies (American Cancer Society, 2008) and about 70 to 80 percent of patients presenting wi...
متن کاملMicrowave ablation of malignant extremity bone tumors
BACKGROUND The current application of limb salvage process has some unsolved problems, such as prosthesis loosening, which severely limits the function of the preserved limbs. Innovative approaches are needed to further improve functional outcome. PATIENTS AND METHODS Instead of en-bloc resection of tumor-bearing bone, it is dissected from the surrounding normal tissues, followed by devitaliz...
متن کاملComparison of percutaneous ablation technologies in the treatment of malignant liver tumors.
Tumor ablation is a minimally invasive technique used to deliver chemical, thermal, electrical, or ultrasonic damage to a specific focal tumor in an attempt to achieve substantial tumor destruction or complete eradication. As the technology continues to advance, several image-guided tumor ablations have emerged to effectively manage primary and secondary malignancies in the liver. Percutaneous ...
متن کاملMicrowave Ablation of Pelvic Malignant Bone Tumors
Background: A considerable percentage of primary or secondary malignancy developed from pelvis. The current widely used surgical treatment is en blot resection of tumor-bearing bone followed by reconstruction. The high rate of complication and mechanical instability often contribute to poor results. Given the poor prognosis and high mobility for pelvic malignancy, some authors think that consid...
متن کاملPercutaneous CT-guided radiofrequency ablation of pulmonary malignant tumors: preliminary report.
OBJECTIVE Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is frequently used for hepatic malignant tumors, but few reports discuss its use for lung tumors. We report our pilot clinical study with RFA for the treatment of pulmonary malignant tumors. PATIENTS AND METHODS Five patients with histologically-proven malignant primary and three metastatic lung tumors underwent a total of 11 RFA procedures. RFA was per...
