About This Service
Radiofrequency or microwave energy is delivered through a needle to destroy the tumour while sparing surrounding liver tissue. Most procedures take 1-2 hours under sedation with one night of observation, and follow-up imaging is scheduled at one month. Ablation can be combined with TACE for larger lesions.
