What is "ablation therapy"?
Ablation therapy is a medical treatment that involves removing or destroying tissue, usually with the goal of treating a disease or condition. This procedure can use various methods such as heat, extreme cold, lasers, or chemicals to target and destroy abnormal tissue. Ablation therapy is commonly used to treat conditions like tumors, abnormal heart rhythms, and certain types of cancer. It is a gentle procedure and often performed using imaging techniques to precisely guide the treatment to the affected area, reducing damage to surrounding healthy tissue.
