  • Title: [Percutaneous radiologic thermocoagulation treatment of liver, kidney and lung tumours].
    Author: Kroft LJ, van der Linden E, Obermann WR.
    Journal: Ned Tijdschr Geneeskd; 2005 Jun 25; 149(26):1448-53. PubMed ID: 16010955.
    Abstract:
    Percutaneous image-guided radiofrequency ablation is mainly used for treatment of tumours in the skeleton, the liver, kidney and lung, in patients who are no (longer) candidates for surgical treatment. Sterile placement of the radiofrequency electrode, which is coupled to a radio-frequency generator, is image-guided. Heating causes cell-death. It has been shown in the literature that radiofrequency ablation is a safe and effective treatment method for local tumor control.
