Meanings of thermal ablation in English

In select patients, thermal ablation or active surveillance of SRMs is an alternative.

Recent findings: Population US-based studies show steady increase in the use of thermal ablation.

Sample size: 330 patients to demonstrate non-inferiority of thermal ablation.

Purpose: To assess the safety and efficacy of percutaneous thermal ablation for the treatment of hepatocellular adenomas.

Practical recommendations: Apart from localized renal cell carcinoma, angiomyolipoma and oncocytoma can be treated by thermal ablation.

In addition, VEGFR-2 targeted CEUS may have a great potential for detecting residual tumor after thermal ablation of hepatocellular carcinoma.

Local recurrence-free survival was inferior for thermal ablation with 1 treatment but reached equivalence to other modalities after multiple treatments.

Objective: Endovenous thermal ablation (TA) offers an effective initial treatment option for superficial venous incompetence of the lower limb.

Objective: The purpose of this article is to review the safety and efficacy of thermal ablation of lung malignancies after pneumonectomy.

Magnetic resonance thermometry and the relevant characteristics and artifacts were evaluated during in vivo thermal ablation of the prostate in 10 animals.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to quantify hypoxia changes in viable tumour volumes after thermal ablation of a murine breast carcinoma.

Conclusion: The use of multiplanar MRTI with a transurethral ultrasound applicator shows significant potential for selective thermal ablation of prostate tumor and tissue.

Purpose: Several options exist for management of clinically localized renal masses suspicious for cancer, including active surveillance, thermal ablation and radical or partial nephrectomy.

Evidence acquisition: Literature and meeting abstracts were searched using the terms renal cell carcinoma, minimally invasive surgery, laparoscopic surgery, thermal ablation, surveillance, and robotic surgery.

Materials and methods: We reviewed patients who underwent thermal ablation for malignant lung tumors after pneumonectomy between 1999 and 2009.

Radiofrequency thermal ablation seems to be a safe, effective method for producing complete ablation of small nonsmall cell lung cancers and pulmonary colorectal cancer metastases.
