Radiofrequency Ablation
Malignant Liver Tumors With Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) Therapy
Radiofrequency Ablation
The most commonly used local ablation is radiofrequency ablation. In this operation, a radio frequency probe is used to insert the liver cancer under ultrasound or computer tomography guidance, and then the radio frequency waves generated by the current oscillations locally heat the high temperature, causing the liver cancer cells to die.
Radiofrequency Ablation combine with Nivolumab
Malignant Liver Tumors With Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) Therapy, and improving immune systems by Nivolumab
immunotherapy with Nivolumab
After subjects had received radiofrequency ablation for two weeks, they were performed by immunotherapy with Nivolumab 200mg.
