Percutaneous tumor ablation with radiofrequency

Radiofrequency thermal ablation (RFA) is a new minimally invasive treatment for localized cancer. Minimally invasive surgical options require less resources, time, recovery, and cost, and often offer reduced morbidity and mortality, compared with more invasive methods. To be useful, image‐guided, minimally invasive, local treatments will have to meet those expectations without sacrificing efficacy.
