Multiple types of tumors have been successfully treated with RF ablation. Liver tumors are the most common type of lesions treated. Liver tumors are treated by RF ablation in over 200 centers in the United States. Other tumor types such as lung, bone, kidney and adrenal are treated at only a few institutions. At the University of South Alabama we treat lung, liver, kidney, adrenal and bone lesions. We have plans to expand to other types of tumors as well. Treatment options are considered on a case by case basis. Patients can send their films to us to be reviewed for treatment planning.
