Thermotherapy causes tumor necrosis and can be performed safely with minimal morbidity. The degree of tumor necrosis is a function of the thermal dose. Future studies will evaluate the impact of high doses of thermotherapy on margin status and complete tumor ablation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
