The radiofrequency ablation segment was valued at USD 455.26 million in 2018. Further, radiofrequency ablations (RFAs) are effective for treating various tumors like liver, lung, kidney, and bone metastases, often achieving complete tumor elimination and improved outcomes. RFA also provides effective pain relief by destroying nerve endings within tumors, benefiting patients with cancer-related pain. Innovations like Boston Scientific's RF3000 system enhance RFA's precision and safety, offering single-needle electrodes and advanced generator controls. These advancements expand RFA's applicability, driving the growth of the market during the forecast period.
The liver cancer?segment will account for the largest share of this segment.? Liver tumor ablation, used for treating HCC and liver metastases, offers a minimally invasive alternative to surgery. Through techniques like radiofrequency, microwave, or cryoablation, energy is delivered to destroy tumors while preserving healthy liver tissue. This method, repeatable if needed, extends patient survival and manages cancer progression. With growing global liver cancer rates, advanced technologies like TechsoMed's BioTraceIO, FDA-cleared in January 2024, further drive demand for liver tumor procedures. Hence, such factors are fuelling the growth of this segment during the forecast period.
The lung cancer segment is also showing steady growth in the market. Tumor ablation provides a minimally invasive option for treating early-stage lung tumors, including primary and metastatic cancers. It's particularly beneficial for patients who can't undergo surgery due to tumor location or lung conditions. Besides curative intent, it offers palliative relief for advanced lung cancer symptoms. With the global rise in lung cancer cases, innovations like Medtronic's ILLUMISITE platform enhance treatment accuracy, driving demand for lung tumor ablation procedures and aiding the market's growth during the forecast period.

Rising focus on cancer treatment in outpatient settings is the key factor driving the market. Outpatient tumor ablation procedures offer cost-effective alternatives to inpatient treatments, reducing facility fees and overhead costs. Conducted in ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs) or clinics, these procedures provide convenience and accessibility for patients, especially those needing multiple sessions or facing transportation challenges. Patients can return home shortly after the procedure, promoting faster recovery and improved comfort.
For instance, Merit Medical Systems Inc.'s STAR tumor ablation System employs targeted RadioFrequency Ablation (t-RFA) to treat metastatic spinal tumors in outpatient settings. Additionally, outpatient settings lower the risk of hospital-acquired infections, benefiting immunocompromised patients. This shift toward outpatient care aligns with value-based and patient-centered approaches, driving the growth of the market by enhancing patient satisfaction and optimizing healthcare delivery during the forecast period.
Increasing adoption of image-guided tumor ablation is the primary trend shaping the market. Image-guided tumor ablation techniques, such as ultrasound, CT, MRI, and fluoroscopy, offer real-time visualization of tumors and surrounding tissues, ensuring precise targeting and minimal damage to healthy tissue. This real-time monitoring allows physicians to adjust the procedure as needed, enhancing safety and efficacy. Integration with navigation systems and software platforms further improves precision and workflow efficiency.
Additionally, these techniques enable customized treatment planning based on tumor characteristics, optimizing outcomes and reducing recurrence risk. The growing adoption of image-guided ablation in oncology is driven by its accuracy, patient safety, reduced procedure time, and personalized treatment options. This trend is expected to fuel the growth of the market by enhancing treatment efficacy and patient outcomes during the forecast period.
High upfront costs of devices and procedures is the major challenge that affects the market growth. Healthcare providers may hesitate to adopt or expand their programs due to budgetary constraints and concerns about the returns on investment (ROI). Additionally, the high upfront costs of procuring devices and equipment, facility upgrades, and training initiatives must be weighed against potential revenue streams and reimbursement rates to ensure sustainable operations. Besides, patients may face out-of-pocket expenses for co-payments, deductibles, and other related costs, potentially leading to disparities in access to innovative cancer treatments.
.Furthermore, reimbursement policies and rates for tumor ablation procedures vary across healthcare systems and payers, impacting the financial feasibility of offering these services. Healthcare providers may face challenges in securing adequate reimbursements to cover the high upfront costs of equipment acquisition, procedure-related expenses, and ongoing operational costs. Thus, the high upfront costs associated with tumor ablation devices and procedures are expected to slow down the growth of the market during the forecast period.
