Research output: Contribution to conferenceAbstractpeer-review

Abstract

Background / Objective
Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) continues to be a significant tool in the medical field, especially for its minimally invasive nature and broad range of applications. RFA has been utilized in some form for about 70-80 years, with significant advancements over the last 40 years. It is one of several ablative therapies used to treat various medical conditions, particularly tumors.
