How To Treat Neuroendocrine Tumors

Radiofrequency Ablation

Radiofrequency ablation is not used to treat cancer itself, but it can be used to treat the symptoms, and the goal of the procedure is to reduce a patient's overall pain. Ablation is used in many chronic pain conditions, including arthritis. During the procedure, a radio wave will produce an electrical current, which will heat a small, focused part of an individual's nerve tissue. The result is a decrease in the pain signals sent from that area. The amount of pain relief patients experience varies from case to case, and the pain's location has an impact as well. Radiofrequency ablation generally provides pain relief for periods ranging from six to twelve months. There have been cases reported where the relief lasted for several years. Over seventy percent of patients who undergo radiofrequency ablation treatment have reported pain relief.
