Abstract:
Navigation systems have the potential to achieve a high accuracy for percutaneous ablation of tumors even for those in difficult locations. In the last years, successful research has been conducted to make navigation devices applicable to percutaneous tumor ablation with special planning software that now allows high accuracy even for deep-located small lesions close to critical structures. Because of the high number of available navigation systems, this review focuses on those with preexisting clinical studies.

However, cancer treatments can pose several challenges, as therapies used to kill cancer cells are generally also toxic to normal cells. Moreover, cancer cells mutate rapidly and can develop resistance to chemical agents or radiation therapy. Besides, all types of cancer cells may not respond to the same therapy. Some cancer cells respond to one...
