Radiofrequency Ablation

Introduction to Radiofrequency Ablation
Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is a minimally invasive treatment method that uses radiofrequency energy to generate localized high temperatures in the tumor, thereby inactivating the tumor in situ. During the RF ablation procedure, the target area temperature can be monitored in real time to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the procedure. Under the guidance of imaging equipment such as DSA, CT, or ultrasound, the RF ablation electrode needle is inserted into the tumor through percutaneous puncture. After being connected to the RF ablation device, the RF current generates high-speed ion vibrations and friction within the tumor tissue surrounding the electrode needle, generating heat. The tumor is engulfed in flames, undergoing coagulative necrosis and ultimately inactivating the tumor in situ .

 

Radiofrequency ablation process

1. Under the guidance of imaging equipment (such as CT), percutaneous puncture is performed and the electrode needle is inserted into the tumor.

2. Connect the radiofrequency ablation device and energize the tumor according to the program and duration set before the operation.

3. Review imaging to ensure that the tumor is engulfed by "flames" and coagulative necrosis occurs

Advantages of radiofrequency ablation

Image guidance, real-time tracking, accurate and reliable; no surgery required, only percutaneous puncture treatment under local anesthesia.

Less trauma, less pain, less side effects, stable efficacy, fast recovery, and short treatment cycle treatment is effective and can achieve results similar to those of surgical resection.

Clinical Application

Applicable to liver cancer, lung cancer, breast cancer, and various metastatic tumors.

Patients with recurrence after surgery.

Tumors with a diameter less than 5 cm and fewer than 3 tumors

Tumors larger than 5cm can be treated with fractionated treatments, which can significantly reduce the size of the tumor and delay its development.

people or those with other diseases who cannot tolerate surgical resection
