When treatment of splenic metastasis is proposed with curative intent, thermal ablation by RF or by MW seems to be a feasible and safe technique resulting in spleen conservation with a low morbidity rate. Because of these features, thermal ablation seems an ideal treatment modality to obliterate splenic metastasis and may be an indispensable tool in the armamentarium of modern splenic surgery.
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.
