Microwave ablation offers a minimally invasive option for a significant patient population with medically inoperable soft tissue lesions
TARGETED
Microwave ablation is a targeted procedure that helps spare healthy tissue and may help preserve organ function.2
EFFICACIOUS
Microwave ablation is efficacious in ablating soft tissue with a low complication rate.3 Guidelines and emerging evidence are helping to expand the recommendation for the use of microwave ablation.
FAST
Most microwave ablation procedures are completed with 5-10 minutes active ablation time with many patients leaving the hospital the same or following day as the procedure.4**
ECONOMICAL
Microwave ablation may be associated with a lower treatment cost compared to other procedures such as radiofrequency ablation and surgical resection.5
