Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) of Breast Cancer

Definition

Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of breast cancer is a minimally invasive medical treatment that uses radiofrequency energy to generate heat and destroy cancerous cells in the breast tissue. This procedure is typically performed under image guidance, such as ultrasound or CT scan, to accurately target the tumor and minimize damage to surrounding healthy tissue.
