Author RFA and brain tumor ablation
KB

Hello-

I was looking into radiofrequency abaltion of brain tumors. RFA seems
to be an up and coming treatment for most other tumors in the body.
However, I am unablt to find anything in the literature concerning
this subject any later than the mid 1990's. The latest reference I
find to this subject is an article, Preliminary experience with
MR-guided thermal ablation of brain tumors by Anzi et al.

Has anyone any experinece with RFA treatment of brain tumors? if so,
how is the RF needle inserted to minimize collateral damage? where is
the ground pad placed?

Any help would be appreciated.
