Key result
Radiofrequency ablation combined with radiotherapy serves a complementary role in solid tumor treatment.
Why the study?
The complementary role and practical application of radiofrequency ablation combined with radiotherapy for solid tumors requires clarification.
This review outlines the theoretical and practical aspects of combining radiofrequency ablation with radiotherapy for the treatment of solid tumors.
May support adjunctive RFA with radiotherapy for solid tumors; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation.
This article outlines the complimentary role of radiofrequency ablation used in conjunction with radiotherapy. It defines the theory behind the treatment as well as specific clinical applications for the combination of this technique. It outlines the practical aspects of the combination therapy including the timing of the radiofrequency ablation versus radiotherapy, the fractionation of the doses, and the radiation doses.
