CEXCA – RADIOFREQUENCY ABLATION

Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) consists of vaporizing nodules at high temperature (60-100ºC), using a radiofrequency probe inserted inside the nodule (special needle). In this way, its growth is stopped, its volume progressively decreases (60-80% in 1 year) and the possible existing compression symptoms disappea
