Tumor embolization is a minimally invasive procedure in which a small, thin tube (catheter) is guided into the feeding arteries of a tumor in order either to shut down the blood supply to the tumor or deliver tumor-killing therapy directly to the tumor.
This procedure places a thin needle into your liver tumor.The needle delivers highfrequency electrical currents into the tumor, creating heat that destroys the liver cancer cells. RFA can be performed by a radiologist or by a surgeon as part of a larger operation.
Similar to RFA, microwave ablation uses a thin needle to transmit microwaves into your liver tumor to destroy cancer cells with heat.This is the ablation method most frequently used at Penn Medicine.
A chemo port is a small, implantable reservoir with a thin silicone tube that attaches to a vein.The main advantage of this vein-access device is that chemotherapy medications can be delivered directly into the port rather than a vein, eliminating the need for needle sticks.
Breast carcinoma is the most common malignant tumour and the leading cause of carcinoma death in women in world.The main purpose of FNAC or CNB of breast lumps is to confirm cancer preoperatively and to avoid unnecessary surgery in specific benign conditions.
