ABSTRACT

Since several years ago, the modern practice of medicine try’s to be less aggressive. When we understand this concept, and with the aid of the actual imaging resources, we can perform several procedures to treat either primary and secondary malignant lesions in some organs, mainly in the liver. The most popular are radiofrequency ablation, crioablation, microwave ablation, laser ablation, chemoembolization and ethanol injection. The objective of this paper is to describe these techniques and to show the initial experience with radiofrequency ablation in the Hospital Angeles Lomas.
