Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) of Liver Tumors

Definition

Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of liver tumors is a minimally invasive medical treatment that uses radiofrequency energy to destroy cancerous cells in the liver. By applying heat generated from high-frequency electrical currents, RFA can effectively target and eliminate small to medium-sized liver tumors, providing an alternative to surgical resection or other treatments.
