Engage RFA, the effective procedure of cancer treated at SIVR

Cancer is regarded as the most dangerous and fatal disease known to human. Earlier, cancer was thought to be incurable but with the rapid progress of science, this fatal disease is now possible to be treated. Various procedures like chemotherapy, radio frequency ablation, are utilized in order to remove or destroy the cancer tumors.

There are certain situations when it is not possible to perform surgery on a cancer patient. So, in those scenarios, the non invasive or surgery free Procedure of cancer treated at SIVR, Radio Frequency Ablation is put to use. Now, people may ask that what is this procedure and how does it work?

Radio Frequency Ablation or RFA is a medical process where the tumor or cancer causing cell is vaporized or ablated using the heat generated from high frequency current. This RFA procedure is normally conducted using either anesthetics. In other words, it is a procedure where a small incision on the skin is made and a thin plastic tube is inserted. Once the tube is positioned on the tumor cell, heat is projected and the tumor is ablated or vaporized. Unlike chemotherapy where medicines are used and there is risk in harming the neighboring cells, RFA ensures that the cells and tissues around the tumor cells are kept healthy.

Radio Frequency Ablation, a procedure of cancer treated at SIVR has the following advantages :

• effective way of analyzing the size of the tumors
• minimal invasive with almost negligible skin incision
• minimum or no pain
• lessened hospital stays
• less chances of after-surgery complications

Since, there are after-surgery complications, lets have a look at those complications. These complications includes bleeding, organ obstruction and infection, blood clots, filter replacement and intra-arterial thrombolysis. For dealing with pain, a minor invasive procedure called transcatheter embolization is used where tiny sand grain sized particle are injected into the artery in order to stop blood flow to the tumor, in turn, reducing the pain and chances of bone fracture. This procedure is also used to stop and control bleeding resulting from hemorrhaging.

As we have seen what is the Radio Frequency Ablation process and how it works, the removal of the cancer causing cells can be guaranteed. As an effective and non invasive procedure of cancer treated at SIVR, cancer patients can be assured of returning home with a cancer free lifestyle and future.
