When surgery isn’t the right option, whether due to tumor location, health status or personal preference, microwave ablation offers a powerful alternative. This minimally invasive treatment uses heat energy to destroy tumors in the liver, kidneys and lungs without large incisions or a long hospital stay. At the Orange County Interventional Radiology Center in Lake Forest, Irvine and Mission Viejo, CA, our board-certified interventional radiologists use advanced imaging technology to target tumors precisely while preserving healthy surrounding tissue.
Microwave ablation is a nonsurgical procedure that uses electromagnetic energy (microwaves) to generate intense heat within tumor cells, delivered by a thin, needle-like antenna. Because tumors are generally more sensitive to extreme temperatures, this approach eliminates abnormal growths while minimizing damage to healthy tissue.
