Features: This book introduces readers to a new interventional treatment technology for liver cancer, namely ultrasound-guided microwave coagulation therapy for liver cancer. It comprehensively and systematically discusses its basic concepts, technical principles, research methods, and clinical applications. The book consists of 10 chapters, which respectively detail the technical methods and requirements of interventional ultrasound, the conformal control and monitoring of microwave coagulation heat fields, the characteristics and applications of microwave treatment instruments, as well as clinical treatment, including preoperative preparation, indication selection, implementation of coagulation therapy, and postoperative follow-up. It also discusses the relationship between immune responses, therapeutic efficacy, and prognosis in thermal coagulation treatment. Furthermore, it explores the application value and prospects of various high-tech technologies in the interventional treatment of in situ tumor ablation. This monograph is highly academic, with innovative theories and methods, strong scientific and practicality, and significant importance in guiding related clinical work. It can serve as a reference and learning material for ultrasound physicians and clinicians from various disciplines, as well as an important reference for relevant researchers.
