This book provides an up-to-date and comprehensive resource for interventionalists who practice image-guided tumor ablation. Over the past 25 years, tumor ablation has evolved from a novel technique initially focused on using ethanol and radiofrequency ablation to the clinical use of cryoablation, microwave ablation, and irreversible electroporation. Chapters cover the range of tumor types and use of ablation from lung tumors to immune system response. Emerging novel technologies such as focused ultrasound (histotripsy) and pulsed electrical fields introduced within the last year are also included with the intention of making the readers aware of the current clinical status and potentials for clinical use of these newer technologies. Expert authors also aim to address the application of adjunctive techniques, such as creation of artificial ascites, hydrodissection, pyeloperfusion which are increasingly used to perform ablations. This is an ideal guide for all interventional radiologists performing ablations.
