Radiofrequency tissue ablation is a rapidly evolving in situ tissue ablation technique and has received increased attention in the past few years. The applications evolved from ablation of cardiac aberrant conduction fiber, to tumor ablation in bone, liver, kidney, breast, brain, and lung. Among them, hepatic primary and secondary tumor ablation is the most widely studied subject. In this artic...

Tumor ablation by thermal, chemical and radiological sources has received substantial attention for the treatment of many localized malignancies. The primary goal of most ablation procedures is to eradicate all viable malignant cells within a designated target volume through the application of energy or chemicals. Methods such as radiotherapy, chemical and biological ablation, photodynamic ther...

PURPOSE To examine the characteristics of lung tumors for which radiofrequency (RF) ablation therapy is effective, and to determine what RF ablation parameters are effective for obtaining complete coagulation of the entire ablation zone with a single RF ablation session. MATERIALS AND METHODS Computed tomography (CT)-guided RF ablation of lung tumors was performed on 82 lesions in 34 patients...

Microwave Ablation 2,2′-Azobis(2-[2-imidazolin-2-yl]propane) dihydrochloride (AIPH)-loaded temperaturesensitive liposomes can be well accumulated in the tumor site after intravenous injection. In article 2202947 by Hu Peng, Zhengbao Zha, and co-workers, when is exposed to environment of microwave thermal ablation, release loaded AIPH decomposes produce cytotoxic free radicals. Tumor growth effe...

Image-guided tumor ablation for early stage hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is an accepted non-surgical treatment that provides excellent local tumor control and favorable survival benefit. This review summarizes the recent advances in tumor ablation for HCC. Diagnostic imaging and molecular biology of HCC has recently undergone marked improvements. Second-generation ultrasonography (US) contras...
