Laparoscopic Radiofrequency Ablation: Treating Tumors in Liver, Kidney, Lung & Bone

Liver cancer: Laparoscopic radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is commonly used to treat small, localized liver tumors, especially in patients who are not good candidates for surgery or liver transplantation.

Kidney tumors: Laparoscopic RFA can be used to treat small renal cell carcinomas, which are cancerous tumors of the kidney.

Lung tumors: Laparoscopic RFA is sometimes used to treat small, peripheral lung tumors that cannot be easily reached with other surgical methods.

Bone tumors: Laparoscopic RFA can be used to treat certain types of bone tumors, such as osteoid osteomas and giant cell tumors.

Soft tissue tumors: Laparoscopic RFA can be used to treat soft tissue tumors, including liposarcomas and leiomyosarcomas.
