Since the introduction of radiofrequency tumor ablation of liver tumors in the late 1990s, local destructive therapies have been applied to lung, renal and bone lesions. In addition, new techniques have been introduced to compensate for the limitations of radiofrequency ablation, namely the reduced rate of complete ablation for tumors larger than 3 cm and tumors near vessels larger than 3 mm. Microwave ablation is currently evolving rapidly. While it is a technique based on thermal ablation similar to radiofrequency ablation, there are significant differences between both techniques. Electroporation, of interest because of the non-thermal nature of the ablation process, also is under evaluation.
自20世纪90年代末引入肝脏肿瘤的射频肿瘤消融术以来，局部破坏疗法已应用于肺、肾和骨病变。此外，还引入了新技术来弥补射频消融的局限性，即对于直径大于3 cm的肿瘤以及距离大于3 mm血管较近的肿瘤，完全消融率降低。微波消融目前正在迅速发展。虽然它是一种基于与射频消融类似的热消融技术，但这两种技术之间存在显著差异。由于消融过程的非热性质而备受关注的电穿孔也在评估之中。
