Radiofrequency Ablation

Radiofrequency ablation is a medical procedure that uses radio waves to generate heat and destroy diseased cells. The heat is produced by a small needle or electrode inserted into the tissue and is used to ablate or destroy the target tissue. It is often used to treat cancerous and noncancerous tissue, including tumors, skin lesions, and cardiac arrhythmias. It can be used as a curative measure and may be an option in palliative care. Radiofrequency ablation has been shown to be an effective, safe, and minimally invasive tactic in treating various types of cancer, cardiac conditions, and other medical ailments.
