HALO Ablation Therapy

Definition

HALO ablation therapy is a minimally invasive medical treatment that uses radiofrequency energy to remove or destroy abnormal tissue, such as precancerous cells in the lining of the esophagus. This therapy is commonly used to treat Barrett's esophagus, a condition where the normal cells in the esophagus are replaced by abnormal cells due to long-term acid reflux.
