Later, Sugiyama et al described the utility of this modality in the management of deep-seated brain tumors (6). The concept of using heat energy to treat tumors has evolved to a precise and efficient means with advances in imaging and stereotactic technology. Several animal model experiments have demonstrated brain tissue coagulation without…
