RADIO SIGNALS USED TO KILL IN0PERABLE LIVER TUMORS
By transforming radio signals into a surgical laser, surgeons at the
University of Pennsylvania Cancer Center are using high-energy radio
frequency sound waves to destroy inoperable primary and metastatic liver
tumors. the powerful procedure, called radio frequency ablation, is
available at Penns Cancer Center and a few other select hospitals in the
U.S. This technology enhances a surgeoins ability to access and
successfully treat liver tumors, which are commonly deemed "inoperable"
due to their anatomical position inside the organ itself.
The surgeon literally chars the tumorous tissue by zapping
up to 100 watts of heat through a probe tip and attached tentacle-like
extensions. The heat-similar to what is generated by a microwave
oven-kills the tumor. ONce all the tumor cells are dead, the body
absorbs this tissue over time and no resection of the tumor is needed.
