Image guided tumour ablation
Several different technologies have been employed for the local ablation of tissue by thermal techniques. At the present time the most widely favoured technique is radiofrequency ablation (RFA) but developments in other techniques, e.g. microwave may change this. In many countries RFA or percutaneous ethanol injection (PEI) are accepted therapies for patients with Childs Pugh Class A or B cirrh...
متن کاملImage-Guided Percutaneous Ablation of Renal Tumors
Renal tumors account for more than 50,000 new cases annually in the United States with a rising incidence (Chow et al., 1999). This is mainly because of an increase in diagnosis due to widespread use of cross-sectional imaging (Pantuck et al., 2001). Renal cell carcinoma constitutes 4% of all adult malignancies (American Cancer Society, 2008) and about 70 to 80 percent of patients presenting wi...
متن کاملImage-guided thermal ablation of hepatocellular carcinoma.
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is increasingly diagnosed at an early, asymptomatic stage owing to surveillance of high-risk patients. Given the complexity of the disease, multidisciplinary assessment of tumor stage, liver function, and physical status is required for proper therapeutic planning. Patients with early-stage HCC should be considered for any of the available curative therapies, incl...
متن کاملImage-guided percutaneous ablation of pulmonary tumours
Image-guided percutaneous local therapy using radiofrequency ablation (RFA) and laser-induced interstitial thermotherapy (LITT) has been used in liver tumours and non-hepatic lesions (e.g. osteoid osteoma) for several years [1–4]. It has been shown to be effective and safe and can usually be performed under local anaesthesia. Recently, percutaneous tumour ablation has also been introduced for l...
متن کاملImage-guided tumour ablation—a new opportunity
It is less than 20 years since the very first papers on ultrasound (US)-guided ablation of liver tumours were published. Initially ablation centred on US-guided percutaneous ethanol injection (PEI) in small, non-resectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and neodymium yttrium aluminium garnet (NdYAG) laser heating techniques in liver metastases. Since then radiofrequency ablation (RFA), microwav...
