Devices and methods can be used to deliver thermal therapy to treat tissue. For example, this document provides devices and methods for treating varices, varicosity, other bleeding vessels, polyps, and cancer using microwave-delivered thermal therapy in a minimally invasive fashion. In some embodiment's provided herein, a multidirectional thermal therapy that does not injure surface tissues but causes endothelial injury and coagulation is described. In some implementations, varices are suctioned into a cup that is configured to deliver thermal therapy to the varices, resulting in coagulation.

The present invention provides a pharmaceutical composition for dehydrating, atrophying and eliminating pathological tissues comprising inorganic polymeric ferric salt and / or inorganic polymeric ferric salt composite as its active ingredients, in which the inorganic polymeric ferric salt is polyferric sulfate, and the inorganic polymeric ferric salt composite is selected from a group consisting of poly-silicate ferric salts, polyphosphate ferric salts and their analogue. A surprising medical effect can be reached by treating pathological tissues with the pharmaceutical composition of the present invention which will make the treated pathological tissues dehydrated, atrophied, and absorbed or sloughed off. The pharmaceutical composition of the present invention is cost-effective, convenient to use and has significant effects in treatment of hemorrhoids, hemangiomas, varix, hygromas, abscess, tumors, scalding and burning wounds, bleeding traumatic wounds, and / or local injuries caused by chemical agents or microorganism.
