Microwave Ablation

About Microwave ablation
Microwave ablation is another minimally invasive interventional therapy. It uses high-frequency electromagnetic waves (microwaves) as a tumor-killing weapon, much like grilling a tumor in a miniature microwave oven. Guided by ultrasound, CT, MRI, or other imaging equipment, a microwave ablation needle is inserted into the tumor. The microwave ablation device emits microwaves, causing polar molecules within the tumor tissue to move at high speeds under the influence of the microwave field, generating heat. When the temperature rises above 60°C, tumor cell proteins denature and coagulate, leading to irreversible necrosis. It also stimulates the immune system, enhancing its function and inhibiting the spread of tumor cells.
 

Clinical Application

Mainly used in solid tumors such as liver tumors, lung tumors, thyroid nodules, breast tumors, bone tumors, uterine fibroids, pancreatic cancer, and kidney cancer

 

Suitable for patients with primary tumors who cannot undergo general surgery due to factors such as patient age, physical condition, other diseases and tumor location

for cancer patients who are unwilling to undergo conventional open surgery

Suitable for intraoperative exploration of tumor patients who cannot undergo conventional surgery

Suitable for patients with metastatic tumors and tumors that have recurred after surgery

 

Advantages of microwave ablation

thermal efficiency, short operation time, reducing risks during surgery and patient pain.

volume is controllable. It is conformal inactivation and causes minimal damage to surrounding normal tissues.

, only a "needle" (no larger than 2mm in diameter) is used to precisely insert into the tumor under the guidance of imaging equipment. Only needle holes are left on the skin, leaving no scars or sutures, thus avoiding the damage to the body's "vitality" caused by major surgery.

No toxic side effects of radiotherapy and chemotherapy; high safety and low recurrence rate.

indications : Microwave ablation can be performed on liver tumors that cannot be surgically removed, are ineffective with vascular embolization, or have poor liver function, achieving the effects of tumor reduction, palliative treatment , pain relief , and improved quality of life.
