Re: Cyberknife for liver mets?

I just wanted to clarify that rfa, at least at the Univ of Minn, where I am having my procedure done, now does use microwave technology. They said that they still refer to it as rfa, but the technology has changed, and microwave, while still heating the tumor to destroy it, is more precise than radiowaves.

I don't know if this is true all over the country, but I assume that the Univ of Minn is not the only facility now using microwave technology, but still referring to it as rfa.
