Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Medical Physics
  • Biomedical Engineering

Background:

  • Large tumors present challenges for effective ablation treatment.
  • Personalized treatment strategies are crucial for optimizing outcomes.
  • Minimizing collateral thermal damage is essential for patient safety.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the advantages of overlapping microwave ablation (OMWA) for large tumor treatment.
  • To provide quantitative and technical references for conformal tumor eradication.
  • To compare OMWA with single-needle strategies for safety and efficacy.

Main Methods:

  • Developed a 3D numerical model integrating electromagnetic fields and Pennes' heat transfer equation.
  • Incorporated nonlinear tissue electrical and thermal parameters.
  • Simulated temperature distribution and coagulation zone formation for single- and multiple-needle OMWA strategies.
  • Validated the model using the LiTS2017 dataset and clinical cases.

Main Results:

  • OMWA demonstrated faster thermal accumulation and higher central temperatures.
  • Achieved more conformal tumor coverage compared to single-needle methods.
  • Significantly reduced thermal damage to surrounding healthy tissues.
  • Validated simulation results against clinical and public datasets.

Conclusions:

  • OMWA is more efficient and safer than single-needle strategies for large tumors.
  • OMWA enables conformal tumor eradication with reduced risk to healthy tissue.
  • Results provide valuable references for clinical preoperative planning and parameter optimization.
