... is a recently developed minimally invasive method with potential for solid tumor treatment such as in liver cancer. A recently described prototype device, however, is too large for use in the more common rodent models of cancer. In this report we describe a simple, low-cost variant of the device that is easy...

...Matthew G. Geeslin; Erik N. Cressman Solid focal and oligometastatic malignancies are appropriate targets for minimally invasive ablative procedures. Thermochemical ablation is an experimental minimally invasive procedure, which exploits certain features of current thermal and chemical tumor...

... . Despite its efficacy in treating ischemic MR, the chordal cutting procedure in its present form has had limited impact due to the fact that it is performed open-heart under direct vision. Most MR patients lack the physical stamina to undergo open-heart surgery ( 7 ). A comparable, minimally invasive...
