Ultrasound-guided microwave ablation (MWA) is a safe, effective method for treating bone metastases

[Maxone73]

"Metastases were located on the ribs, skull, pelvis, spinal cone, and sternum. Pathological types included sarcomas (32%), adenocarcinomas (32%), squamous carcinomas (24%), and types labeled as “other” (12%).

MWA had a technical success rate of 100%, with no severe complications being reported among the patients."

I wonder where/who is doing this in the US? Sounds like it would be radiation oncologists trained up on new microwave equipment. Are microwaves laser or radiation or neither?

high frequency elecromagnetic radiation (radio waves)

Very interesting. This could be used for people like me who have more mets than is safe for radiation.
