Description

A minimally invasive medical procedure using microwave energy to heat and destroy abnormal tissue, commonly used for tumors in liver, lung, kidney, and bone.

Main Uses

Primary clinical uses include: (1) palliative treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) via transurethral microwave thermotherapy (TUMT); (2) adjunctive local hyperthermia for enhancing radiation or chemotherapy efficacy in certain solid tumors (e.g., recurrent breast cancer, cervical cancer); (3) ablation of small superficial lesions (e.g., warts, vascular malformations); (4) physiotherapeutic applications for chronic musculoskeletal pain, inflammation, and soft-tissue healing (though evidence is limited compared to other modalities like shortwave diathermy).

Normal Range

Microwave therapy is not a diagnostic laboratory test with numerical 'values' or 'normal ranges'; it is a non-invasive physical therapeutic modality that delivers electromagnetic energy (typically at 2450 MHz or 915 MHz) to generate localized thermal effects in tissues. Therefore, there are no standardized quantitative biomarkers, reference intervals, or 'normal/abnormal values' associated with microwave therapy itself.

Low Values - Possible Causes

N/A — Microwave therapy does not produce measurable 'low values' as it is not a quantitative diagnostic assay; treatment parameters (e.g., power, duration, frequency) are clinically adjusted based on tissue type and indication—not interpreted as 'low' or 'high' in a lab-test sense.

High Values - Possible Causes

N/A — There are no 'high values' in microwave therapy; excessive energy delivery may cause thermal injury (e.g., burns, tissue necrosis), but this reflects improper dosing or device malfunction—not an inherent 'high result' of the therapy.
