When cancerous conditions are discovered, we can use radiofrequency or microwave ablation to destroy cancer cells. The physician inserts a thin needle through the skin and into the tumor, guided by computed tomography (CT). Electrical energy delivered through this needle heats and destroys the tumor, which prevents cancer cells from dividing and multiplying. Months after the procedure, those dead cells turn into a harmless scar.
