Advancements in Ablation Techniques for Liver Tumors

Why settle for “good enough” ablation margins when today’s tools can deliver more and decrease the risk of recurrence? Host Dr. Kavi Krishnasamy sits down with interventional radiologists Dr. Christopher Malone (WashU, St. Louis) and Dr. Kirema Garcia-Reyes (Mount Sinai, NYC) at our 2026 HCC Creator Weekend™ in-studio in New Orleans to discuss modern liver ablation strategies for HCC and metastatic disease. The conversation centers on challenging real-world cases, combining multidisciplinary tumor board insights with hands-on experience using ablation confirmation software, radiofrequency, cryo, and microwave ablation.
