Lung Cancer Ablation: Technologies and Techniques [PDF]
Seminars in Interventional Radiology, 2013 The incidence of lung cancers in 2012 is estimated to reach 226,160 new cases, with only a third of patients suitable surgical candidates. Tumor ablation has emerged as an important and efficacious treatment option for nonsurgical lung cancer patients. This localized minimally invasive therapy is best suited for small oligonodular lesions or favorably ...

New Ablation Technologies and Techniques [PDF]
Arrhythmia & Electrophysiology Review, 2014 Catheter ablation is an established treatment strategy for a range of different cardiac arrhythmias. Over the past decade two major areas of expansion have been ablation of atrial fibrillation (AF) and ventricular tachycardia (VT) in the context of structurally abnormal hearts.

Atrial fibrillation ablation techniques [PDF]
Europace, 2012 We performed a survey on current atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation techniques used for catheter ablation of AF among the European Heart Rhythm Association Research Network. The focus of this questionnaire is on the ablation strategy, such as the use of different lesion sets or sites of ablation in the various forms of AF, and on the technical aspects ...

Liver Tumor Ablation Techniques
Journal of Investigative Surgery, 1997 Despite advances in surgical technique, patients with primary and secondary liver tumors remain a difficult management problem, as most tumors are unresectable at presentation. Alternative therapies, involving the in situ destruction of liver tumors, have recently come under scrutiny as palliative options. Percutaneous ethanol injection and cryosurgery

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Pediatric gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (GEP‐NENs) are extremely rare and clinically heterogeneous. Management has largely been extrapolated from adult practice. This European Standard Clinical Practice Guideline (ESCP), developed by the EXPeRT network in collaboration with adult NEN experts, provides (adult) evidence ...

Lung Ablation: Indications and Techniques
Seminars in Interventional Radiology, 2019 AbstractLung ablation is ever more recognized since its initial report and use almost two decades ago. With technological advancements in thermal modalities, particularly microwave ablation and cryoablation, better identification of the cohort of patients who best benefit from ablation, and understanding the role of imaging after ablation, image-guided

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Pediatric radiation therapy presents unique challenges compared to adult treatments, including those of immobilization, potential need for sedation, and the critical importance of accurate, reproducible positioning. Additionally, heightened attention to imaging doses is necessary to minimize long‐term toxicity in survivors.
