…Dupuy, MD, is the director of tumor ablation in the department of diagnostic imaging at Rhode Island Hospital and is a pioneer in image-guided ablation for the treatment of solid tumors. These techniques include radiofrequency ablation (RFA), microwaveablation (MWA), cryoablation and irreversible… related searches:damian dupuy
What Is It?
…or ultrasound. Microwaveablation and radiofrequency ablation (RFA) are effective cancer treatments that can shrink or eliminate (“ablate”) tumors by destroying them with heat. Cryoablation can ablate tumors by freezing them. Together, they are known as image-guided tumor ablation, or IGTA. The doctor… related searches:rfa
