Interventional oncologists in Lviv successfully destroyed a bone tumor in 6 minutes.
With the help of radiofrequency ablation, doctors relieved Arseniy, the son of a defender, from hip pain. The boy from Kharkiv, who practices boxing, suffered from osteoid osteoma. **Local doctors** examined him twice to no avail until they discovered a benign tumor.
The parents were looking for an alternative to traumatic surgery and found the radiofrequency ablation method in Lviv. *”During the procedure under CT control, we drill a small hole… Children are relieved of suffering in a matter of minutes,”* noted Svyatoslav Balaka.
The procedure lasted only 6 minutes and the pain completely disappeared. Arseniy’s father could reunite with his comrades and talk about his native Kharkiv. In the First Medical Association of Lviv, this method has already helped over 40 patients.
