Abstract:Deep-seated tumors of the liver, brain, and other organ
systems
often recur after initial surgical, chemotherapeutic, radiation, or
focal treatments. Repeating these treatments is often invasive and

a localized dual treatment implant for nutrient deprivation and multiple
repeatable thermal ablation. Following a single injection, multiple
thermal treatments can be rep… Show more
