Tumour Ablation (RFA/Microwave) – Liver, Kidney, Bone

Tumour Ablation in Yeshwanthpur | RFA & Microwave

Tumour ablation is a minimally invasive procedure used to destroy cancerous tissues in the liver, kidney, and bone without the need for open surgery. Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) and microwave ablation (MWA) are advanced techniques that use heat energy to induce coagulative necrosis, effectively eliminating tumours while preserving surrounding healthy tissue. RFA uses high-frequency electrical currents delivered through a needle-like electrode, while MWA generates intense heat through microwave energy, ensuring deeper and faster tissue destruction. These procedures are particularly beneficial for patients with inoperable tumours, metastatic lesions, or those who cannot tolerate major surgery.

In liver cancer, ablation is commonly used for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and metastatic tumours, especially in patients with cirrhosis or limited liver reserve. In the kidneys, RFA and MWA provide an effective alternative to nephrectomy for small renal tumours, preserving kidney function. Bone tumour ablation is crucial in managing painful metastatic bone lesions, reducing tumour burden, and alleviating cancer-related pain. The procedure is performed under image guidance using ultrasound, CT, or MRI to ensure precise tumour targeting. The drug absorbs the ablated tissue post-procedure, leading to tumour shrinkage. Recovery is quick, with minimal complications, making tumour ablation a safe and effective option for localised cancer treatment. At Manipal Hospital, Yeshwanthpur, our expert interventional radiologists use cutting-edge technology to ensure optimal outcomes for patients undergoing tumour ablation.

Below are the key procedures under tumour ablation:

  • Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) – Uses electrical energy to generate heat and destroy tumour cells in the liver, kidneys, and bones.

  • Microwave Ablation (MWA) – Delivers high-intensity microwave energy for deeper and faster tumour destruction.

  • Liver Tumour Ablation – Effective for hepatocellular carcinoma and metastatic liver lesions in patients with cirrhosis.

  • Kidney Tumour Ablation – Minimally invasive treatment for small renal tumours, preserving kidney function.

  • Bone Tumour Ablation – Reduces pain and tumour size in patients with metastatic bone cancer.
