Tumor Ablation Techniques

Tumor ablation techniques are medical procedures used to destroy cancerous tumors without removing them surgically. These methods include techniques like radiofrequency ablation, where heat generated by radio waves is used to kill tumor cells, and cryoablation, which freezes the tumor. Other methods involve using lasers or microwave energy. Ablation can be less invasive and often requires only local anesthesia, allowing for quicker recovery times. These techniques are useful for treating tumors that are hard to access or for patients who cannot undergo traditional surgery.
