Microwave Ablation

The safety of three therapeutic methods, each featuring electromagnetic navigation bronchoscopy-guided microwave ablation, was established in patients with multiple bilateral ground-glass opacities, according to study results.

Transcatheter arterial chemoembolization alone and with microwave ablation yielded comparable overall survival rates in patients with recurrent small hepatocellular carcinoma after resection, per research in BMC Gastroenterology.

A cohort of adults who underwent microwave ablation to treat solid or mostly solid benign thyroid nodules had a mean shrinkage of more than 60% 6 months after the procedure, according to findings published in Clinical Endocrinology.
