Abstract:
Physical ablation is a new kind of tumor treatment which directly acts on local solid tumors to eradicate or destroy tumor tissues by use of various advanced physical techniques. Physical ablation can be classified by physical characteristics as thermal ablate therapy (TAT), cryoablation and electrical ablation. Recent studies and technical trend of these three physical ablation treatments are reviewed in this paper.
