چکیده
In the past decade, the role of radiofrequency ablation (RFA), microwave ablation (MWA), and cryoablation in interventional oncology has undergone rapid growth. Treatment is based upon the principle that precise alterations in tissue temperature induce irreversible changes at the molecular level resulting in cellular death accomplished by the application of cytotoxic levels of heat or tissue freezing.
