Advantages of microwave ablation for liver cancer

  Patients who suffer from liver tumor but are not suitable for open surgery now have an additional option to choose microwave ablation to treat liver tumor. Under the guidance of color ultrasound, the surgeon selects the best surgical path, and under the real-time monitoring of color ultrasound, the cold-circulation microwave ablation knife is stabbed into the center of the tumor percutaneously and the microwave ablation is performed for 10-15 minutes, and the heat energy released by the microwave rapidly destroys the liver tumor.
The tumor tissue within 3 cm of the microwave ablation knife can reach the degree of coagulation and necrosis. The thin microwave ablation blade with cold circulation has little damage to normal tissues and can enhance the immune function of the body in addition to killing the tumor, while the real-time monitoring by color ultrasound throughout the microwave ablation procedure ensures the safety and efficacy of the procedure. As a minimally invasive surgery, microwave ablation is less harmful to the patient’s body, and the patient can recover quickly after the surgery without scar formation.
