Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) is a safe, effective, and minimally invasive treatment for certain types of liver cancer. It uses heat to destroy cancer cells.
During the procedure, a thin needle-like probe is guided into the tumor using imaging techniques like ultrasound or CT scan. Once positioned, high-frequency energy is delivered through the probe, heating and destroying the cancerous tissue. The procedure usually takes under an hour and is often done under local anesthesia with sedation.
RFA is most effective for small tumors (usually less than 3–5 cm in size) and can be repeated if needed. It causes least damage to surrounding liver tissue and thus has a shorter recovery time.
Patients typically go home after an overnight stay. Follow-up scans help monitor treatment success.
RFA offers a promising option for many liver cancer patients, improving quality of life and outcomes with fewer side effects.
Talk to your doctor to see if RFA is right for you.

My Goitre thyroid nodules were treated and there is a great improvement now... My heartily thanks to Dr Kaloo and team. They saved me from a surgery and permanent scar on the neck.
Amazing experience. A smart, very skilled and cordial physician. As a Bangladeshi, I suggest all Bangladeshi patients to come for PTBD, stenting,.... Seems to me one of the Pioneers.
one of the finest and kindest doctors I’ve come across. The way he respond to our doubts and questions post treatment is way too professional... Thank you doctor for your patience and effort...
