1Key Laboratory of Minimally Invasive Techniques & Rapid Rehabilitation of Digestive System Tumor of Zhejiang Province, Linhai, China.
Purpose:
Hepatocellular carcinoma is one of the major causes of tumor-related death worldwide. Surgical resection, as the main radical treatment method, is only applicable to certain liver cancer patients considering factors such as liver reserve function, tumor location, and quantity.
Methods:
Ablation therapy serves as a useful supplement to surgical resection. However, due to the heat sink effect and local tumor recurrence, operators are cautious about ablation.
Results:
The no-touch ablation technology can provide sufficient ablation boundaries. Since it does not directly puncturing the tumor, it also avoids the risk of tumor needle tract implantation, thereby reducing local tumor recurrence.
Conclusion:
This technology has been used in hepatic tumor treatment for many years, and many global studies have reported its safety and reliable efficacy.
