Emergence and interest of radiofrequency and microwave in tumor ablation in veterinary medicine
Description
The field of interventional oncology is thriving in veterinary medicine, thanks to technological advancements in imaging and the specialization of veterinary practice. Thermoablation is an example of a therapy that is highly appealing due to its wide range of applications and relatively affordable cost compared to other therapies such as radiation therapy. In this context, it is important to provide an overview of our current knowledge on the subject, including its mechanism of action and its applications in human medicine, as well as the advancements made in veterinary medicine to date. This work focuses on the use of radiofrequency and microwaves. The objective is to create a knowledge base for veterinarians interested in incorporating thermoablation into their practice. The intrinsic workings of radiofrequency and microwave ablation are detailed, allowing for an understanding of the procedure's process. Additionally, an overview of the use of these two methods in human medicine is provided, including various indications, contraindications, and complications depending on the affected organ. Finally, a discussion is conducted on their potential use in veterinary medicine in the years to come. (author)
Abstract (French)
Le domaine de l'oncologie interventionnelle est en plein essor en medecine veterinaire grace aux avancees technologiques en imagerie et a la specialisation de la pratique veterinaire. La thermoablation est un exemple de therapie qui se veut tres attrayante de par sa large possibilite d'application et son cout relativement abordable compare a d'autres therapies telles que la radiotherapie. Dans ce contexte, il nous est paru important de faire etat des lieux des connaissances que nous avons sur le sujet, c'est-a-dire son fonctionnement, mais egalement l'application qu'il en est fait en medecine humaine et les avancees realisees en medecine veterinaire a ce jour. Ce travail se limite a l'utilisation de la radiofrequence et des micro-ondes. L'objectif est donc de constituer une base de connaissance aux veterinaires voulant ajouter la thermoablation a leur pratique. Le fonctionnement intrinseque de l'ablation par radiofrequence et par micro-ondes est detaille, permettant ainsi de comprendre de deroulement d'une procedure de thermoablation. De plus, est dresse un etat des lieux de l'utilisation de ces deux procedes en medecine humaine, relatant ainsi les differentes indications, contre-indications et complications en fonction de l'organe touche. Enfin, une discussion est realisee sur l'utilisation en medecine veterinaire et son interet potentiel dans les annees a venir. (auteur)
