ProcedureS

Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA)

Heat generated from radio waves destroys the tumor.

Microwave Ablation


Microwaves are used to heat and kill the cancer cells.

Cryoablation


Freezes the tumor tissue, causing cell death.

Irreversible Electroporation (IRE)

High-voltage electrical currents are used to destroy tumor cells.

Treatment Options

Standalone treatment

For smaller, localized tumors.

Palliative ablation

To manage symptoms in cases of advanced cancer.

Combined with surgery

For a more comprehensive treatment approach.

post Procedure Recovery

Short hospital stay – Can go home within 1-2 days, daily activities can be resumed shortly.
Mild discomfort or bruising – Can be managed with pain medications Follow up imaging – To ensure the tumor has been fully treated

Success rate

Liver tumors – Success rates as high as 80-90% for tumors smaller than 3 cm. Bone &  thyroid tumors: Ablation can offer symptom relief and control in over 80% of cases.
Renal tumors – High success rates with minimal
complications for early-stage tumors.
Is tumor ablation painful?

 The procedure is usually done under local anesthesia or sedation, so you should feel minimal pain. Post-procedure discomfort is typically mild and temporary.

How long does the procedure take?

Tumor ablations typically last between 1-3 hours, depending on the size and location of the tumor.

Can I resume normal activities after the procedure?

Most patients can return to normal activities within a week, though you may need to avoid strenuous activities for a few more days.

What if my tumor is too large for ablation?

In such cases, ablation may be combined with other treatments like surgery or chemotherapy for better outcomes.
