Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) for liver tumor

In general, treatment for liver tumors is mainly open surgery. Recently minimally invasive surgery has become popular because of small wounds and quick recovery after surgery.

Different from traditional RFA of using one needle, we use multi-bipolar ablation needle to achieve better outcome and give the great opportunity to completely remove the tumor.
