Microwave ablation is a relatively new technology under development and testing to treat the same types of cancer that can be treated with radiofrequency ablation. Microwave energy has several possible benefits over radiofrequency energy for tumor ablation but, because clinical microwave ablation systems are not widespread, the underlying principles and technologies may not be as familiar. The basic microwave ablation system contains many of the same components as a radiofrequency ablation system: a generator, a power distribution system, and an interstitial applicator. This article attempts to provide an overview of each of these components, outline their functions and roles, and provide some insight into what every potential microwave ablation user should know about systems in development.
