Radiofrequency ablation of liver tumors: experience with open and percutaneous approach.
BACKGROUND Radiofrequency ablation (RFA), a thermal coagulation technique, has been used for ablation of primary and secondary liver tumors. METHODS Over a 24-month period, 41 patients, including 20 with hepatocellular cancer (HCC), 14 with liver metastases from colorectal tumors and 7 with metastases from other tumors, underwent RFA in our institution. Ablation was done using intra-operative...
متن کاملTranscatheter CT arterial portography and CT hepatic arteriography for liver tumor visualization during percutaneous ablation.
PURPOSE To evaluate the feasibility of combining transcatheter computed tomography (CT) arterial portography or transcatheter CT hepatic arteriography with percutaneous liver ablation for optimized and repeated tumor exposure. MATERIALS AND METHODS Study participants were 20 patients (13 men and 7 women; mean age, 59.4 y; range, 40-76 y) with unresectable liver-only malignancies--14 with colo...
متن کاملPercutaneous ultrasound-guided thermal ablation for liver tumor with artificial pleural effusion or ascites.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Percutaneous ultrasound-guided thermal ablation is one of the major treatment methods for liver cancer. Tumor location close to the diaphragm or gastrointestinal tract was regarded as the treatment contraindication before due to poor visibility of the tumor or increased risk of thermal injury to the adjacent organs. This study used artificial pleural effusion or ascites...
متن کاملCurrent status of liver tumor ablation devices.
The liver is a common site of disease for both primary and metastatic cancer. Since most patients have a disease that is not amenable to surgical resection, tumor ablation modalities are increasingly being used for treatment of liver cancer. This review describes the current status of ablative technologies used as alternatives for resection, clinical experience with these technologies, currentl...
متن کاملLip Reconstruction after Tumor Ablation
Approximately 25% of all oral cavity carcinomas involve the lips, and the primary management of these lesions is complete surgical resection. Loss of tissue in the lips after resection is treated with a variety of techniques, depending on the extension and location of the defect. Here we review highly accepted techniques of lip reconstruction and some of new trials with significant clinical ...
