Several minimally invasive methods are employed in cancer treatment, including:
1. Laparoscopy: A surgical procedure that involves small incisions through which a camera and specialized instruments are inserted to remove or biopsy tumors. 2. Robotic-Assisted Surgery: Utilizes robotic systems to enhance the precision and control of surgical instruments. 3. Endoscopy: Allows doctors to examine the internal organs and tissues using a flexible tube with a light and camera. 4. Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA): A procedure that uses heat generated by radio waves to destroy cancer cells. 5. Cryotherapy: Involves freezing cancer cells to kill them. 6. Stereotactic Radiosurgery: Delivers high-dose radiation with pinpoint accuracy to target tumors.
