Abstract

This article comprehensively explores the application of ultrasonic ablation technology in tumor treatment. It first elaborates on the basic principles of this technology, which utilizes thermal, mechanical, and cavitation effects. The advantages of precise focusing, minimally invasive procedures, and real-time monitoring, as well as limitations such as tissue heterogeneity interference, heat deposition, and acoustic shadow effects, are analyzed. Subsequently, ultrasonic-mediated precise ablation strategies for tumors are introduced, including imaging guidance techniques and ablation technologies such as microwave, cryoablation, and sonodynamic therapy. The therapeutic effects are demonstrated through clinical cases such as ultrasound-guided microwave ablation for the treatment of T1a stage renal cancer. Addressing the issues of inadequate technology popularization and lagging doctor training in promotion and application, solutions such as strengthening medical education and professional training, and further advancing research on equipment performance optimization are proposed, providing references for the development of ultrasonic ablation technology in the field of tumor treatment.
