    What Is Microwave Tumour Ablation?

    Microwave tumour ablation is an image‑guided microwave tumour ablation technique that uses electromagnetic waves to heat and destroy tumors. A thin antenna is placed percutaneously into the lesion under ultrasound or CT guidance. The antenna emits microwaves, rapidly raising the temperature of the surrounding tissue to 60–100 °C, causing cellular death. As a form of percutaneous microwave ablation, this procedure avoids large incisions and general anaesthesia, translating into shorter hospital stays and a faster return to daily life.

    Key advantages:

    • Precision: Destroys only targeted tumour cells
    • Speed: Ablation in 5–15 minutes per lesion
    • Safety: Low complication rates under real‑time imaging
    • Versatility: Effective on liver, thyroid, bone, and uterine fibroid lesions

    Treatment Applications

    Thyroid Microwave Ablation

    Small benign or recurrent thyroid nodules can cause cosmetic concerns, discomfort, or hormone imbalance. Thyroid microwave ablation offers a non‑surgical option to shrink nodules safely.

    • What to Expect: A local anesthetic numbs the neck. Under ultrasound guidance, an antenna is inserted into the nodule. Microwave energy heats the tissue, causing nodule shrinkage over weeks.
    • Key Benefits: No scar, preservation of thyroid function, quick procedure (20–30 minutes), same‑day discharge.

    Liver Tumour Ablation

    Primary liver cancers or metastases can be treated effectively with percutaneous microwave ablation. This approach is ideal for tumours under 5 cm in diameter.

    • Procedure Details: After planning with CT or MRI, antennas are placed in the tumour via small skin punctures. Microwave energy ablates the lesion, and surrounding safe margins are achieved.
    • Why It Matters: Offers an alternative when surgery is not feasible, with five‑year survival rates comparable to surgical resection for select patients.

    Bone Lesion Ablation

    Painful bone tumours—whether benign osteoid osteomas or metastatic lesions—can cause severe discomfort and compromise structural integrity. Bone microwave ablation provides rapid pain relief.

    • How It Works: Under CT guidance, the antenna targets the lesion directly. Ablation destroys the tumour cells and denervates pain fibres, often providing near‑immediate pain reduction.
    • Patient Impact: Minimally invasive, avoids major orthopaedic surgery, and allows early mobilization.

    Uterine Fibroid Ablation

    Uterine fibroids affect up to 70% of women by age 50. For those seeking uterus‑sparing options, uterine fibroid microwave ablation (also known as transcervical microwave ablation) offers a nonsurgical route.

    • Technique: A slender catheter is introduced via the cervix under ultrasound guidance. Microwave energy ablates fibroid tissue while preserving healthy uterine walls.
    • Advantages: Outpatient procedure, minimal discomfort, quick recovery, and adequate symptom control (bleeding, bulk‑related pain).

    The Microwave Ablation Procedure

    Consultation & Planning

    1. Detailed review of your medical history and imaging studies (CT, MRI, or ultrasound).
    2. Discussion of goals, risks, and alternative treatments.
    3. Scheduling at our dedicated interventional suite.

    Preparation

    1. Fasting for 4–6 hours prior (for abdominal or uterine procedures).
    2. Pre‑procedure labs and ECG as indicated.
    3. Intravenous access and mild sedation or local anaesthesia.

    Antenna Placement

    1. Using real‑time imaging, Dr. Pawar navigates the antenna into the target lesion.
    2. Position confirmed with contrast if needed.

    Energy Delivery

    1. Microwave power is applied for 5–15 minutes, depending on lesion size and location.
    2. Temperature monitoring ensures complete ablation while protecting adjacent structures.

    Post‑Ablation Imaging

    1. Immediate scan verifies treatment zone and checks for complications.
    2. The patient is monitored for 1–2 hours before discharge.

    Preparing for Your Appointment

    • Documentation: Bring prior imaging reports, referral notes, and a list of medications.
    • Support: Arrange for a companion to drive you home if sedation is used.
    • Comfort: Wear loose clothing and remove jewellery over the treatment area.

    Our staff will provide a detailed preparation guide when you book your microwave tumour ablation treatment near me.

    Recovery & Follow‑Up

    • Immediate Care: Mild soreness or bruising is common—over‑the‑counter pain relievers suffice.
    • Activity: Light walking is encouraged; avoid strenuous exercise for one week.
    • Diet: Resume a regular diet unless otherwise instructed.
    • Follow‑Up Imaging: A CT or ultrasound at 1–3 months confirms adequate ablation and lesion shrinkage.

    Dr. Pawar reviews results with you and your referring physician, ensuring seamless continuity of care.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    1.  Is microwave ablation safe?

    Ans : Yes. When performed by experienced interventional radiologists under image guidance, complication rates are low (< 5%). The Best Radiologist in Thane ensures maximal safety protocols.

    2. How does it compare to radiofrequency ablation?

    Ans :  Microwave ablation achieves higher temperatures faster and is less affected by nearby blood flow ("heat sink"), making it ideal for larger or highly perfused tumours.

    3. Can I find "microwave tumour ablation treatment near me"?

    Ans :  Pawar Radiology Center serves Thane and Hiranandani Estate with dedicated interventional suites. Call +91-9967677602.  or visit our website to book.

    4. Will I need multiple sessions?

    Ans : Most small lesions require a single session. Larger or irregular tumours may need staged ablations for complete treatment.

    5. What results can I expect?

    Ans : Lesion size typically reduces by 50–90% within three months. Symptom relief is often immediate, especially in bone or fibroid cases.
