A Review on Microwave Ablation Technique for Hepatocellular Carcinoma
Journal Title: International Journal of engineering Research and Applications - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 9
Abstract
Thermal ablation is becoming most widely used techniques for treatment of benign and malignant tumors of different organs like the liver, lung, kidney and also the bone [1-5]. It is the best alternative for the candidates who cannot undergo the surgical resection. Ablation techniques have proven well even in case of treatment of solid tumors in organs such as breast, prostate, adrenal glands, pancreas and also the uterus [6-12]. Ablation followed by other techniques like chemotherapy and usage of nanoparticles in curing have proven to improve the treatment efficacy [13-19]. This paper reviews the advent and development of Microwave Ablation Technique. We provide an overview of physical and technical aspects of MWA. Microwave Ablation was first introduced in Far Eastern clinical practice in early 80’s. In the initial stage it was having the issues of controllability of the emitted field, poor coagulation process [70]. With the time there have been a lot of improvements and technique has really grown well to tackle HCC.
