Current therapies for abnormal tissue destruction face challenges. Future advancements focus on integrating imaging, drugs, and stimulation techniques for improved safety and efficacy in minimally invasive treatments.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Physics
  • Oncology
  • Biomedical Engineering

Background:

  • Despite advances in computer-assisted and robotic interventions, challenges persist in developing more efficient and safer therapies for abnormal tissue destruction.
  • Existing physics-based therapeutic principles, while established, lack a full understanding of their cellular and molecular mechanisms.
  • Current techniques like radiofrequency ablation, high-intensity focused ultrasound, microwaves, cryotherapy, laser therapies, and radiotherapy have varied clinical applications, benefits, and drawbacks.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review established physics-based therapeutic techniques for tumor destruction.
  • To explore next-generation therapeutic strategies under investigation.
  • To highlight the importance of improved instrument tracking, steering, and target localization in minimally invasive therapies.
