The authors developed an imageguided robotic system for percutaneous interventions using. One of the critical factors that impedes its successful outcome is the use of inappropriate radiofrequency levels that will not completely destroy the target tumor tissues, resulting in therapy failure. Nanjing university school of medicine affiliated drum tower hospital has launched a radiofrequency ablation of malignant tumors. It is an important option for people who have failed chemotherapy or radiotherapy or are not surgical candidates. Percutaneous tumor ablation is a new volume in the series medical radiology. Introduction to ablation, operations, imaging, methods, organ system tumor ablation, and perspectives. New approaches use robotic devices to accurately place the instrument at the target.
Radiofrequency ablation rfa for liver tumors is a minimally invasive procedure that uses electrical energy and heat to destroy cancer cells. Tumor ablation is a minimally invasive technique that is commonly used in the treatment of tumors of the liver, kidney, bone, and lung. Effects on systemic and local anti tumor immunity and on other tumor microenvironment interactions the tumor microenvironment. Radiofrequency ablation destroys a tumor by delivering radiofrequency energy through a needle probe. Rfa is the most widely adopted thermal ablation method with high success rates in the treatment of liver, 11 lung, and kidney tumors, and more recently, for the treatment of bone and soft tissue tumors outside the liver, lungs, and kidneys. Learn from the experts with this handson guide to the latest tumor ablation modalities and techniques. Rosenthal and colleagues first described successful rfa treatment of osteoid osteomas. Nanoassisted radiofrequency ablation of clinically. This breadth of coverage is coupled with an easytoread format that facilitates the application of these new clinical techniques. Robotic assisted radiofrequency ablation of liver tumors. Leading authorities on percutaneous tumor ablation come together in this volume to provide a complete overview of everything physicians and other health professionals need to know to successfully implement and administer an imageguided ablation service.
Cryoablation for cancer is a treatment to kill cancer cells with extreme cold. Also conducted radiofrequency ablation of benign tumors. A gas is pumped into the cryoprobe in order to freeze the tissue. Traditionally, the probe is placed manually using imaging feedback. The book aims to help radiologists improve their skills in percutaneous image guided ablation techniques. Diagnostic imaging and radiation oncology published by springer verlag. During cryoablation, a thin, wandlike needle cryoprobe is inserted through your skin and directly into the cancerous tumor. Tumor radiofrequency ablation therapeuticschinese edition.
