Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare tumor and normal liver blood flow differences and assess the effectiveness of radiofrequency (RF) ablation combined with glucagon, adenosine, or saline in rats.
- Results showed that glucagon and adenosine significantly reduced the blood flow in tumors compared to saline, with glucagon and adenosine achieving over 66% reduction.
- Post-ablation, the treated tumors showed a 100%-165% increase in the ablated area, indicating that medication could effectively change blood flow and potentially improve tumor treatment strategies.
