Radiofrequency ablation works by inserting a thin needle guided by computed tomography (CT) or ultrasound through the skin and into a tumor. Electrical energy destroys the tumor and dead cells turn into a harmless scar. This out-patient procedure can be repeated if new cancer appears. Image-Guided Cancer Therapy: A Multidisciplinary Approach provides clinicians with in depth coverage of the state of the art in tumor ablation.

Section one details the basic science of ablation. Section two shows clinicians how to sustain a practice, both financially and medically. The authors discuss imaging and methods of ablation, explaining when to use which specific modalities or techniques. Taking an organ-based approach, readers learn the most current evidence for treatment, with a focus on results-oriented management. Lastly, the editors include a much needed discussion of the care of children, patient information focusing on both medical and emotional resources, and future trends.
