Minimally Invasive Liver Cancer Treatment in Klaipeda

At Klaipėda University Hospital, a 70-year-old liver cancer patient who could not undergo surgery was given a minimally invasive treatment method – microwave ablation. During the procedure, the tumor is destroyed by precise exposure to heat, without damaging the surrounding tissues, and the patient’s recovery is faster and easier than after open surgery.
