| Project Overview:
Hepatic tumor ablation is an
increasingly useful option in the treatment of both metastatic colorectal cancer
and primary hepatocellular carcinoma. Ablation has also been used in palliative
care of neuroendocrine tumors and in treatment of tumors in other locations,
such as kidney, breast, lung, and bone. It has been limited by variably high
recurrence rates, small lesion sizes, and difficult imaging of both tumors and
ablation lesions. We have established a multidisciplinary working group of
researchers interested in tumor ablation, including surgeons, radiologists,
engineers, and medical physicists. Some of our current projects include:
