Microwave ablation is an extremely promising heat-based thermal ablation modality that has particular applicability in treating hepatic malignancies. Microwaves can generate very high temperatures in very short time periods, potentially leading to improved treatment efficiency and larger ablation zones. As the available technology continues to improve, microwave ablation is emerging as a valuable alternative to radiofrequency ablation in the treatment of hepatic malignancies. This article reviews the current state of microwave ablation including technical and clinical considerations.
微波消融是一种极具前景的基于热的热消融方式,在治疗肝脏恶性肿瘤方面具有特殊的适用性。微波能在极短时间内产生非常高的温度,这有可能提高治疗效率并形成更大的消融区。随着现有技术不断改进,微波消融正成为治疗肝脏恶性肿瘤时射频消融的一种有价值的替代方法。本文综述了微波消融的现状,包括技术和临床方面的考量。
