🫁 Lung Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA): Your Questions Answered

Q: What is Lung Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA)?
A: Lung RFA is a minimally invasive, image-guided procedure used to treat certain lung tumors. A thin probe is guided into the tumor using CT imaging, and controlled heat is applied to destroy abnormal cells—without open surgery.

Q: Who is a good candidate for Lung RFA?
A: Lung RFA may be an option for patients who:

- Have small or limited lung tumors
- Are not ideal candidates for surgery
- Have recurrent or metastatic tumors
- Want a less invasive treatment approach

Each patient is carefully evaluated to ensure the best outcome.

Q: How is the procedure performed?
A: Using real-time CT guidance, an interventional specialist places a needle-like probe precisely into the lung tumor. Radiofrequency energy then heats and destroys the targeted tissue while minimizing damage to surrounding healthy lung.

Q: Is Lung RFA safe?
A: Yes. When performed by experienced specialists, Lung RFA is considered safe and effective. Imaging guidance allows for high precision, and most patients tolerate the procedure well.

Q: What are the benefits of Lung RFA?
A:
✔ Minimally invasive
✔ No large incisions
✔ Shorter recovery time
✔ Preservation of healthy lung tissue
✔ Reduced hospital stay

Q: What is recovery like after Lung RFA?
A: Most patients recover quickly, often returning home the same day or within 24 hours. Mild discomfort may occur but is usually manageable, and normal activities can often be resumed soon after.

Q: Does Lung RFA replace surgery or chemotherapy?
A: Lung RFA does not replace all treatments. It can be used alone or alongside surgery, chemotherapy, or radiation, depending on the patient’s condition and treatment plan.

Q: Why choose RJIR Vascular & Oncology Center?
A: At RJIR, Lung RFA is performed by expert interventional specialists using advanced imaging technology—focused on precision, safety, and patient-centered care.

Bone pain is rarely just on the surface🩺🔍.

Whether it is caused by a benign growth like an Osteoid Osteoma or complications from metastatic bone disease, the source of chronic suffering is often hidden deep within the bone tissue—areas that traditional treatments struggle to reach without invasive surgery.

At RJIR Vascular and Oncology Center, the standard of care has shifted toward precision. Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) has emerged as a gold-standard, minimally invasive alternative for patients seeking relief without the trauma of a major operation.

The Clinical Advantage:

By utilizing real-time, image-guided technology, RJIR specialists navigate a specialized micro-probe directly to the site of the lesion with sub-millimeter accuracy. Once in place, controlled thermal energy is applied to:
1️⃣ Effectively "switch off" pain-sensing nerves.
2️⃣ Target and destroy tumor cells.
3️⃣ Stabilize the affected area.

This entire process is performed through a tiny incision no larger than a pinprick, requiring no stitches and leaving no significant scarring.

Patient Outcomes:
✅ Rapid Relief: Significant reduction in bone pain, often within 24–48 hours.
✅ Outpatient Convenience: Patients typically return home the same day.
✅ Minimal Downtime: No major surgical recovery period is required.

In the field of Interventional Oncology, a diagnosis of bone pain no longer means "living with it." Advanced, image-guided intervention is available right here in Illinois.

Bone pain shouldn't be the reason you stop exploring.🚶‍♂️

When I meet patients in my clinic, they often describe a deep, boring pain that keeps them off the trails and awake at night. As a licensed oncologist and radiologist, my goal is to get you back to the activities shown in these photos—without the "red zone" of pain.

Through Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA), we can treat localized bone tumors with surgical precision without the surgical trauma. By targeting the tumor with heat, we stabilize the bone and eliminate the pain signals at their source.

Most of my patients are back to their daily routines within just a few days. Why? Because we treat the cause, not just the symptoms.

Don't let a diagnosis keep you on the sidelines. Let’s discuss how interventional oncology can help you move again.

Myth vs. Fact — Setting the Record Straight on Kidney Tumors

When you hear the word "tumor," the mind often jumps to the worst-case scenario. But at RJIR Vascular and Oncology Center, we want to replace fear with facts. Modern medicine has evolved, and you deserve to know the truth about your options.

❌ MYTH: "If I have a kidney tumor, the whole kidney has to come out."
✅ FACT: For many patients, especially those with tumors under 4cm, Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) can destroy the tumor while leaving the healthy part of the kidney exactly where it belongs.

❌ MYTH: "Major surgery is the only way to treat a renal mass."
✅ FACT: Interventional Radiology has changed the game. RFA is a minimally invasive, outpatient procedure. That means no major hospital stay and a significantly faster return to your daily life.

❌ MYTH: "Biopsies or treatments will make the cancer spread."
✅ FACT: Modern, image-guided techniques used by specialists are incredibly precise and safe. We target only the problem area with thermal energy, neutralizing the tumor cells on the spot.

Don’t assume traditional surgery is your only road. Advancements in Interventional Radiology offer a path that prioritizes your long-term kidney function and your quality of life.

RFA vs. Traditional Surgery — Know Your Options ⚖️

When facing a kidney tumor diagnosis, the word "surgery" can be overwhelming. But at RJIR Advanced Vascular and Oncology Center, we want you to know: Surgery isn't your only path to being cancer-free.

Understanding the difference between traditional methods and modern innovation is vital for your recovery and your long-term quality of life.

Traditional Surgery (Partial or Radical Nephrectomy):
❌ Often involves removing a large portion—or all—of the kidney.
❌ Requires large incisions and general anesthesia.
❌ Can result in 3–5 days in the hospital.
❌ Weeks of painful recovery before returning to work or family.

Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) at RJIR Vascular and Oncology Center:

✅ Outpatient Procedure: In most cases, you go home the same day! 🏠
✅ Band-Aid Sized Incision: We use a tiny needle-entry point, not a scalpel.
✅ Maximum Preservation: We destroy the tumor while keeping your healthy kidney intact.
✅ Minimal Downtime: Most patients return to their normal activities within days, not weeks.

At RJIR, we believe in fighting cancer with the least possible disruption to your life. We specialize in "Preservation-First" medicine to ensure your kidneys keep working for you for years to come.

“How can you treat a tumor without cutting it out?”
We get this question a lot 🤔 — and the answer is Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA).

Here’s how RFA works at RJIR Vascular and Oncology Center:

1️⃣ Precision Guidance
Using advanced imaging like CT scans or ultrasound, our specialists carefully guide a thin, needle-like probe directly into the tumor.

2️⃣ Targeted Thermal Energy
The probe delivers radiofrequency energy, generating controlled heat that destroys tumor cells precisely — without harming surrounding tissue.

3️⃣ Natural Healing Process
Over time, the body naturally absorbs the treated tissue, allowing healthy kidney tissue to remain intact.

✨ Advanced medicine means smarter recovery.
