A large-scale, 12-year study has found that laser ablation with magnetic resonance (MR) guidance is as effective as traditional surgery in the treatment of liver tumors in some patients. view more (2005-11-30)
Laser Therapy Offers Alternative to Surgery for Liver Tumours
Research News in the British Journal of Surgery 11 September 2003: Laser light can be delivered in a controlled and predictable manner to destroy tumours. By inserting fibre optic cables through needles, doctors can direct the powerful laser light onto liver tumours - killing the cells and thus eliminating the need for major surgery. A review of... view more... (2003-09-11)
