Abstract

Microwave thermal ablation is a high and new technology emerging through the combination of modern physics and medicine in the 1970s. It has been widely used to cure benign and malignant tumors since the 1990s when this technology was put into use in the clinic, which is comparable with surgical operation in treatment and curative effect of small liver cancer. Moreover, microwave thermal ablation has some effect in treatment of lung cancer and kidney cancer. In addition, patients who are attacked by benign tumors, such as thyroid nodules and uterine fibroids, benefit from the development of this technology. Oncotherapy will enter a brand new development stage with further development and spread of this technology.
