Microwave Ablation In Bengaluru
A minimally invasive alternative to surgical resection, microwave ablation is used for the treatment of liver tumours. The procedure uses microwaves to heat and destroy cancer cells. Have you been recently diagnosed with liver cancer and are looking to get microwave ablation in Bengaluru? Then, book a consultation with Dr. Basavaraj Biradar, an experienced Interventional Radiologist.
What Is Microwave Ablation?
Microwave ablation is a minimally invasive method of destroying a liver tumour without making a large incision or removing a part of the liver. That's essentially what this procedure is. Microwave ablation uses image guidance, such as ultrasound or CT, to insert a very thin needle directly into the tumour. Then, using microwave energy, the tumour cells are precisely destroyed. The surrounding healthy liver tissues remain untouched and the patient can go back home the same day or the next.
Follow-up and Monitoring
After the procedure, your doctor will schedule regular imaging, like CT or MRI scans. These check-ups are crucial to make sure the tumour has been fully destroyed and hasn't resurfaced.
Types of Liver Tumours Treated With MWA
Microwave ablation is used most often for:
- Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC) - It is a primary liver cancer that often arises in patients with cirrhosis.
- Metastatic Tumours - These are the kind of tumours that have spread to the liver from other parts of the body, like the colon, breast or lungs.
Safety & Success Rates
One of the most comforting parts about MWA is how safe and effective it has proven to be. For small tumours, typically less than 3 centimetres in size, the chances of destroying the tumour completely are incredibly high, often over 90% with a single session. And because the procedure is image-guided and targeted, the risk of damaging healthy liver tissue is very low.
When Do Patients Turn to Microwave Ablation?
Some liver tumours can't be removed surgically. Maybe due to reasons like the tumour being in a difficult spot or the patient not being medically fit for the surgery. In cases like this, surgery just isn't the best option.
In such instances, MWA gives us an edge. It's minimally invasive, repeatable if needed and can even be combined with other treatments like chemotherapy or targeted therapies. For small tumours (especially those under 3 cm), MWA has shown the same level of effectiveness as surgery. And the recovery? It's short, with most patients being able to walk and move around within hours of the procedure. Many get back to their routines faster than they expected.
