About the offer

Ablation is believed to be a minimally invasive procedure, which means it is traditionally associated with fewer chances of adverse effects and doesn't involve a lot of damage during treatment sessions. Most often, doctors use chemicals and physical (e. g. , temperature, microwaves, laser, etc. ) impact factors to damage the tumor from the inside. Still, it's necessary to undergo a whole body check-up and verify the diagnosis before starting ablation or any other type of treatment. Doctors use imaging to locate the tumor and its size and connection with other organs. Interventional radiologists assist doctors in locating the parotid gland tumor by displaying a picture. The cancer is reached through a small incision on the skin using a device. Once the healthcare practitioners get to the tumor site, they activate the machine and wait for it to have a therapeutic effect. This process helps ensure successful treatment sessions. Doctors might put a few stitches and place a clean, aseptic dressing on the wound during the procedure. Repeating the treatment session after a few months might be necessary to achieve sustainable positive effects.
