Tumor Ablation

Tumor ablation is a medical procedure used to destroy cancerous tumors without removing them surgically. It uses various techniques, such as heat (radiofrequency ablation), cold (cryoablation), or chemicals (ethanol ablation), to target and eliminate tumor cells. This method is often less invasive than traditional surgery, allowing for quicker recovery and fewer complications. Ablation can be used for tumors in different parts of the body, including the liver, kidney, and lungs, and is typically considered when surgery is not possible or as a complement to other cancer treatments.
