Laser Ablation for Small Hepatocellular Carcinoma by Claudio Maurizio Pacella, Giampiero Francica, Giovanni Giuseppe Di Costanzo

“…Laser ablation (LA) represents one of currently available loco-ablative techniques: light is delivered via flexible quartz fibers of diameter from 300 to 600 μm inserted into tumor lesion through either fine needles (21g Chiba needles) or large-bore catheters. The thermal destruction of tissue is achieved through conversion of absorbed light (usually infrared) into heat. …”
