Welcome to the Homepage of the Liver Tumor Ablation Program at the Cleveland Clinic

 

The following pages contain information for patients about the Liver Tumor Radio Frequency Ablation Program. The information will answer questions patients may ask when considering a new treatment method.

The pages are organized like a museum visit, there is a path from the first to the last "room". However, it is not necessary to follow the tour in that order. At the end you will probably know if liver ablation can help you. If so, you then can submit your personal data in our questionnaire for review. All data entered into the questionnaire will be encrypted in transmission to ensure the confidentiality of this information.
