Abstract RFA offer new options and hope to patients who are not good surgical candidates, In the United States, a woman is diagnosed with breast cancer every three minutes and one woman will die from the disease every 13 minutes . Radiofrequequency is effective for small to medium sized tumour and emerging new technologies should allow the treatment of large cancers in the future.Thermal ablation treatment is building on the two-decade trend toward less radical approaches and utilizing local treatments for breast cancer. For cancerous tumors, radiofrequency ablation (RFA) offers a nonsurgical, localized treatment that kills the tumor cells with heat, while sparing the healthy breast tissue.Because of the localized nature of this treatment, RFA does not have any systemic side effects. RFA Usually does not require general anesthesia, it is well tolerated. Most patients can resume their normal routine the next day. |
