My wife Lorraine had it done at MGH in Boston. Very successful. MGH said they wrer pioneers in inventing it quite afew yrs ago. great Dr., Dr. Arellano.
That spot in liver is stil cancer free , about 3-4 yrs later. Incision was tiny, but it shocks the liver , so L. felt some pretty stiff pain for a few days, plus low grade fever, chills due to the trauma to that part of the liver.
we have all scans at mgh so they know what it is, and always comment on it , " ablation area '. never came back there.
So its great for a single, intractable tumor, not for multiple sites. Lo's cancer came back later in multiple liver areas ' like weeds in a lawn " is how our doc described it in 2010, but TDM- blasted it all out , ned over a yr. Good luck !
