New Hope of InOperable Cancer

New Hope for Inoperable CancerGULF SHORES, Ala., -- The world's only centerspecializing in radiofrequency (RF) ablation for treatment ofcancerous tumors is offering new hope to inoperable cancer patients.One of only a handful of centers of any type that treat lung cancersin the U.S., The American Institute for Cancer Ablation (AICA,www.cancerablation.com -http://www.cancerablation.com) can treat manytumors that cannot be treated surgically."We are pleased to be offering cancer patients this very specialized,progressive treatment," said Dr. Jason R. Williams, AICA founder. "Thefact that we are the only facility in the world working exclusively inRF ablation, and we're right here in the U.S., is especiallyexciting."During RF ablation, a needle is inserted directly into a tumor.Radiofrequency energy then travels through the needle, heating thetumor and destroying or shrinking it. Although RF ablation is usedmost often to treat liver tumors, AICA can also successfully treattumors of the lungs, bones and adrenal glands with the minimallyinvasive procedure, and the facility considers other types of tumorson a case-by-case basis.Dr. Williams specializes in treating cancer with minimally invasivetechniques; of those, his particular focus is on RF ablation. He wasthe first doctor to perform RF ablation using Electron Beam ComputedTomography (EBCT) guidance and continues to lead the field with hisresearch into RF ablation of lung tumors."Although RF ablation is a relatively new treatment, it is by no meansexperimental at this point," Dr. Williams explained. "The procedurehas been used to give cancer patients longer, better lives, and inmany cases, it has eliminated tumors altogether. For people withinoperable tumors or metastatic disease, as well as those who cannottolerate surgery, RF ablation offers a promising new treatmentmodality -- and more importantly, it gives many patients more hopethan they have had in a long time."The American Institute for Cancer Ablation is located in theMcCollough Institute Professional Complex inside Craft Farms in GulfShores. Cancer patients who feel RF ablation may be right for them areencouraged to fill out the AICA questionnaire athttp://www.cancerablation.com/question.php(http://www.cancerablation.com/question.php).-=-Courtey of eReleases - http://www.ereleases.com
