Summary

The goal of this clinical research study is to learn how well magnetic resonance thermal imaging (MRTI) can check the amount of tumor being destroyed using a therapy called laser ablation (a procedure that uses lasers to create heat that is designed to destroy cancer cells).

Conditions

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Laser Ablation

Laser ablation procedure taking about 1-3 hours, depending on the size and location of the tumor.

PROCEDURE

Magnetic Resonance Thermal Imaging

MRTI will be used to monitor the temperature within the ablation zone during the laser ablation.
