system for ablating undesirable soft tissue in a living subject using radio frequency electrical membrane breakdown

摘要

One that can be safely and effectively deployed to treat prostate cancer, non-resectable pancreatic cancer, breast tumors or soft tissue tumors located in the head, neck, central nervous system or brain, melanoma, coronary tumors, or tumor or abnormal tissue inside or outside the lumen. Disclosed is a system for imaging, guidance, planning and treatment, integrated into an assembly of units or components, and methods of using the same. The system uses a new method called high-frequency electrical membrane destruction (EMB or RFEMB) to destroy the cell membrane of unwanted tissue or cancer tissue without degeneration of the intracellular contents of cells constituting the tissue, thereby destroying the cancer tissue. Ablation, with or without adjuvant drugs or compounds or other substances, exposes tumor antigens and more oily cellular components that can have an immune effect on primary or metastatic cancer tissue. The system includes at least one EMB treatment probe 20, at least one traceable treatment needle 00, at least one traceable anesthesia needle 300 and at least one control unit to at least partially automate the treatment process. It is desirable to do.
