  • Title: Radiofrequency ablation of the liver: how do we do it.
    Author: Vandenbroucke F, Ilsen B, Craggs B, Op de Beeck B, de Mey J.
    Journal: JBR-BTR; 2007; 90(6):490-1. PubMed ID: 18376762.
    Abstract:
    Radiofrequency ablation is a minimally invasive cancer treatment used as an alternative for unresectable hepatic malignancies. Tumor ablation implies direct application of thermal or chemical therapies on a specific focal tumor. The aim of radiofrequency ablation is a total eradication of the tumor or at least a substantial tumor destruction. The thermal energy can be heat (radiofrequency, laser, microwave,...) or cold (cryoablation).
