Minimally invasive thermal therapy as local treatment of benign and malignant diseases has
received increasing interest in recent years. Safety and efficacy of the treatment require …

Laser ablation (LA) is gaining acceptance for the treatment of tumors as an alternative to
surgical resection. This paper reviews the use of lasers for ablative and surgical …

Purpose: To report the complications for percutaneous microwave (MW) ablation for the
treatment of malignant liver tumors and the possible risk factors for complications in a large …

Surgical resection provides long term survival in approximately 30% of patients with
colorectal carcinoma (CRC) liver metastases. However, only a limited number of patients …

While the destructive actions of a cryoablative freeze cycle are long recognized, more recent
evidence has revealed a complex set of molecular responses that provides a path for …

Laser-induced thermotherapy (LITT) is a hyperthermic procedure recently employed to treat
cancer in several organs. The amount of coagulated tissue depends on the temperature …

Photothermal ablation (PTA) is an emerging technique that uses near-infrared (NIR) laser
light–generated heat to destroy tumor cells. However, complete tumor eradication by PTA …

OBJECTIVE MR-guided laser-induced thermal therapy (MRgLITT) can be used to treat
intracranial tumors, epilepsy, and chronic pain syndromes. Here, the authors report their …

By electrodeposition and galvanic replacement reaction, we developed a facile, time-saving,
cost-effective, and environmentally friendly, two-step synthesis route to obtain a controllable …

Thermotherapy is a promising technique for the minimally invasive elimination of solid
tumors. Here we report the fabrication of protein-coated iron oxide NPs (12 nm core) for use …
