Core Tip
Core Tip: Minimally invasive tumor ablation techniques, including radiofrequency ablation, microwave ablation, cryoablation, high-intensity focused ultrasound, and histotripsy offer substantial benefits in treating solid organ tumors. These techniques provide effective localized treatment that minimizes damage to surrounding tissues, reduces recovery times, and enhances patient outcomes. Their evolving role in precision oncology demonstrates the potential to tailor interventions to individual patient needs, significantly improving therapeutic efficacy and patient care.
