Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) and Cryoablation are alternative surgical methods to remove tumors. In RFA, radio waves are used to create heat and destroy the benign tissues. On the other hand, Cryoablation delivers cold temperature to the targeted areas to kill the benign tissues. These methods are quicker than a traditional surgery and allow patients to get back to normal life as quickly as the next day. Inoperable patients can safely use this method to reduce surgery complications and risks. D
