Description

Microwave coagulation therapy (MCT) can usually be used to treat localized liver cancer less than 30 mm in diameter. In order to increase the area of tissue coagulation, we recently investigated the advantages of a water-cooled electrode, coated with Teflon. By cooling it with cold water, a larger area could be coagulated than with previous electrodes. Results of this study suggest that MCT with a water-cooled electrode may be a useful therapy for liver cancer of more than 31 mm in diameter.
