Targeted radiofrequency ablation : ウィキペディア英語版 | Targeted radiofrequency ablation
Targeted radiofrequency ablation (also written t-RFA) is a minimally invasive procedure to treat severe pain and discomfort caused from metastatic tumors in the vertebral body of the spine. This procedure uses radiofrequency energy to target and ablate a specific spinal tumor, causing it shrink and reduce the pressure on the surrounding nerves and tissues. The procedure minimizes damage to the vertebrae and surrounding tissues. It is used as a palliative therapy rather with the intention of treating the cancer itself. ==History==
Targeted radiofrequency ablation was first developed by DFINE, Inc., a medical device company based in San Jose, California. Its product, the STAR Tumor Ablation System received 510(k) clearance from the United States Food and Drug Administration in August 2010. It is cleared for sale in the US and CE marked in Europe. The procedure was first performed at the James Graham Brown Cancer Center located at the University of Louisville Hospital in March 2012.
