Current Status of Minimally Invasive Ablative Techniques in the Treatment of Small Renal Tumours
, 2006
"... radiofrequency ablation (RFA), represent the current available minimally invasive treatments for renal cell carcinoma (RCC). CA has been more extensively studied and has gained acceptance from patients and phy-sicians. The procedure is well tolerated by patients even with serious concomitant disease ..."

ARTICLE Image guided tumour ablation
, 2005
"... Several different technologies have been employed for the local ablation of tissue by thermal techniques. At the present time the most widely favoured technique is radiofrequency ablation (RFA) but developments in other techniques, e.g. microwave may change this. In many countries RFA or percutaneou ..."

or percutaneous ethanol injection (PEI) are accepted therapies for patients with Childs Pugh Class A or B cirrhosis and early hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Results for RFA in large series of patients with liver metastases from colon cancer are very promising. Five-year survival rates of 26% from the time
Recent Advances in Radiofrequency Ablation in the Treatment of Hepatocellular Carcinoma and Metastatic Liver Cancers
"... Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and liver metastases are common cancers worldwide. Recent imaging modalities have been able to detect HCC and liver metastases at an early stage, with surgical resection as the choice of management. However, because of poor liver reserve, co-existing liver cir-rhosis a ..."

options because of their high effectiveness and minimal invasiveness. RFA has the particular advantage of more predictable ablation areas and fewer treatment sessions required. It has been applied for local ablation of liver malig-nancy since 1990 and is currently widely accepted as an alter
The use of radiofrequency in cancer
"... Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) provides an effective technique for minimally invasive tissue destruction. An alternating current delivered via a needle electrode causes localised ionic agitation and frictional heating of the tissue around the needle. Image-guided, percutaneous ablation techniques hav ..."

Lattice Boltzmann Method For Fast Patient-Specific Simulation of Liver Tumor Ablation from CT Images
"... Abstract. Radio-frequency ablation (RFA), the most widely used min-imally invasive ablative therapy of liver cancer, is challenged by a lack of patient-specific planning. In particular, the presence of blood vessels and time-varying thermal diffusivity makes the prediction of the extent of the ablat ..."

Radiofrequency ablation of hepatic tumors: simulation, planning, and contribution of virtual reality and haptics
- Comput Methods Biomech Biomed Engin
"... For radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of liver tumors, evaluation of vascular architecture, post-RFA necrosis prediction, and the choice of a suitable needle placement strategy using conventional radiological techniques remain difficult. In an attempt to enhance the safety of RFA, a 3D simulator, treatm ..."

Hepatic radioembolization as a bridge to liver surgery
"... Treatment of oncologic disease has improved significantly in the last decades and in the future a vast majority of cancer types will continue to increase worldwide. As a result, many patients are confronted with primary liver cancers or metastatic liver disease. Surgery in liver malignancies has ste ..."

steeply improved and curative resections are applicable in wider settings, leading to a prolonged survival. Simultaneously, radiofrequency ablation (RFA) and liver transplantation (LTx) have been applied more commonly in oncologic settings with improving results. To minimize adverse events in treatments
