Tumor Ablation
Understanding Tumor Ablation
Tumor ablation is a minimally invasive procedure designed to destroy tumors in various organs, including the liver, kidney, lungs, and bones, without the need for open surgery. Using advanced imaging guidance and targeted energy sources such as radiofrequency, microwave, or cryoablation, Dr. Vatsal delivers precise treatment that minimizes damage to healthy tissue. Tumor ablation not only controls tumor growth but also alleviates symptoms and improves quality of life.
What Is Tumor Ablation?
Tumor ablation involves using high-energy sources or extreme cold to destroy cancerous tissue directly within the tumor. It is performed through small needles or probes inserted under imaging guidance, allowing precise targeting. Ablation can be used for primary or metastatic tumors and is often chosen for patients who are not candidates for surgery or who prefer a minimally invasive option.
Symptoms Indicating the Need for Ablation
Localized pain or discomfort
Caused by tumor growth or pressure on nearby structures.
Abnormal imaging findings
Masses detected on ultrasound, CT, or MRI scans.
Organ dysfunction
Tumor affecting liver, kidney, or lung function.
Progression despite other treatments
Tumors not responding to medication or other therapies.
When Is Tumor Ablation Recommended?
Tumor ablation may be indicated in the following scenarios:
Such as liver or kidney cancers.
Tumors that have spread from other organs.
Surgical limitations
Patients unable to undergo surgery due to medical conditions or tumor location.
Symptom relief
Reducing pain, pressure, or other tumor-related symptoms.
Primary organ tumors
Such as liver or kidney cancers.
Metastatic tumors
Tumors that have spread from other organs
Surgical limitations
Patients unable to undergo surgery due to medical conditions or tumor location.
Symptom relief
Reducing pain, pressure, or other tumor-related symptoms.
Aftercare & Lifestyle
Recommendations
Complications
If tumors are not treated, they may lead to:
Tumor progression and growth
Increasing size and potential spread to other organs.
Organ damage or failure
Tumors compressing vital structures can impair organ function.
Pain and reduced quality of life
Symptoms may worsen over time.
Limited treatment options later
Advanced tumors may become difficult to treat effectively.
Treatment Options
Tumor ablation is customized based on tumor type, size, and location:
Uses high-frequency electrical currents to heat and destroy tumor tissue.
Applies microwave energy for rapid and effective tumor destruction.
Destroys tumors by freezing them with extreme cold.
Ultrasound, CT, or MRI guidance ensures precise targeting and minimal impact on healthy tissue.
