The development of medicine today is largely determined by the availability of modern therapeutic and diagnostic equipment and its constant modernization. Despite the impressive list of achievements of science and technology, surgery remains one of the radical methods of treatment for most malignant neoplasms.

        But today in many cases modern oncology can offer a whole complex of minimally invasive technologies, which with a small number of complications carry a high therapeutic potential and we will talk about methods of local destruction of tumors, which have been used by interventional radiologists of the National Scientific Medical Center for 4 years.

        Radiofrequency ablation of the liver is a technique of minimally invasive treatment of malignant tumors of primary and secondary metastatic nature, by introducing electrodes into the tissue of the neoplasm under ultrasound control and exposing it to radiofrequency electrical oscillations, which cause a significant local temperature increase. As a result of such impact pathological tumor cells are destroyed, and healthy tissues of the body are not damaged. The technique is an excellent alternative to surgical removal or resection of part of the liver.

        This method is characterized by simplicity of performance and short duration of the procedure, characterized by a low number of complications and low lethality, a large volume of coagulated tissue, in this regard improving the quality of life.

        Leading oncologists of the world believe, have long insisted that this method is used as a priority treatment for patients with tumor lesions of the liver.

        The main indications for radiofrequency ablation of the liver are:

        - previous radical surgical treatment of the primary tumor.

        - absence of extrahepatic manifestations of lesions.

        - presence of multiple tumor masses in the liver (not more than 5).

        - nodes are no more than 5 cm in diameter each.

        - residual tumor after surgical treatment.

        - Local tumor recurrence after previously performed Radiofrequency liver ablation or liver resection.

        At the National Scientific Medical Center, liver ablation is performed by highly qualified specialist Niyaz Beisenovich Malaev, who has extensive experience in minimally invasive interventions in oncology. Radiofrequency ablation of liver tumors can be effectively used as an independent method, as well as in the complex treatment of oncological diseases along with traditional methods.      

        By developing new and unique treatment technologies in oncology, we aim to improve the quality of treatment and life expectancy of our patients!
