“Cancer ablation continues to transform the way we treat solid tumors.
Minimally invasive techniques such as cryotherapy, pulse electrical field, microwave, radiofrequency, and other technologies are expanding treatment options for patients who may not be candidates for surgery, while offering faster recovery and precise tumor targeting.
This newly published collaborative work explores important advances and perspectives in the field of cryotherapy and esophageal cancer.
Ablative techniques can destroy tumors locally while preserving surrounding tissue to either eradicate tumors or decrease their local impact and improving quality of life.
For a limited time, the full article is available for free download. If you are interested in the evolving role of ablation in oncology and Endoscopic Oncology, this is a great opportunity to read it.”
