Microwave ablation is the precise insertion of microwave electrodes into tumors under the guidance of imaging equipment such as B ultrasound , CT or nuclear magnetic resonance . The tumor cells move at high speed and friction under the action of the microwave magnetic field, causing the local temperature to rise rapidly to achieve effective treatment. The temperature causes the tumor to undergo coagulative necrosis . Microwave ablation has small trauma, high safety, fast recovery, few complications, can be repeated, and can protect the patient's organ function to the maximum extent. It can treat patients who do not want surgery or cannot bear surgery due to various reasons. of the gospel. (Correspondent: Shi Li)
