The procedure was carried out by the interventional radiologist Dr. José Velásquez Barbarán, from the Rebagliati Hospital, together with the ME Juan Carlos De la Cruz Rocha, ME Carlos Paré Pérez and the institute’s Interventional Radiology team.
The technique consists of inserting a needle into the tumor and applying controlled heat to destroy the affected cells without the need for open surgery, which reduces risks and speeds up recovery.
