"Thermal ablation is one of the main IR techniques, which includes radiofrequency ablation (RFA) and microwave ablation (MWA). These methods are aimed at destroying the tumor by delivering heat directly to the lesion. This helps to effectively \"cook\" the malignant tissue at the same time preserving surrounding healthy structures as much as possible. Thermal ablation can achieve local control rates of 80-90% and 5-year overall survival rates exceeding 50% in patients with liver metastases. These techniques are often performed under image guidance (CT or ultrasound) and can be repeated if new lesions appear. They are typically used for tumors less than 3 cm in size and are ideal for patients who are not candidates for surgery due to other health conditions."
