Elaine Posted September 23, 2004 Author Share Posted September 23, 2004 I probably should have posted this in New Treatments. Anyway, I was wondering if anyone on the board has any experience with this especially in regards to using it on masses that are not candidates for surgery or RFA. I am assuming that some of the same limitaions that are used for not doing RFA would likewise be the case with Microwave Ablation--ie tumors on or too near certain structures? Marianne? John? What, if anything do you know? Wondering also if anyone has had this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john Posted September 23, 2004 Share Posted September 23, 2004 I don't know to much about microwave ablation. It is basically the same idea as radio frequency. Except microwave is uses a higher frequency. Even a laser, like RF and microwave, are all electromagnetic energy. I think the main difference is that microwaves can treat larger lesions There probably is the same restrictions as far as number of nodules and location of the nodules.
