	Thermal ablation, using either radiofrequency or microwave energy, is a minimally invasive treatment that destroys cancer cells by applying intense heat directly to the ~~tumor~~. This procedure is particularly effective for small ~~tumors~~ in organs such as the liver, lungs, and kidneys. During thermal ablation, a probe is guided into the ~~tumor~~ under imaging guidance, where it emits either radiofrequency or microwave energy to heat and destroy cancerous tissue. The targeted approach spares surrounding healthy tissue and results in fewer side effects compared to traditional treatments. Performed by interventional radiologists, thermal ablation is a quick procedure with a short recovery time, offering patients an effective option to manage and treat localized ~~tumors~~ with precision and minimal disruption to their daily lives.
