2. A system for treating a lesion, comprising:
-
an introducer cannula defining a lumen therein; a stylet configured to be removably inserted into the cannula lumen; a resecting device configured to remove the lesion after being removably inserted into the cannula lumen, thereby creating a cavity within tissue adjacent the lesion; an adjuvant treatment device configured to be removably inserted into the respective cannula lumen and tissue cavity, the adjuvant treatment device configured to deliver an adjuvant treatment to the tissue adjacent the lesion; and a vacuum source fluidly connected to the cannula lumen so as to deliver vacuum to the tissue cavity while the adjuvant treatment device is disposed within the cannula lumen and tissue cavity, such that the tissue defining the tissue cavity collapses onto a distal end portion of the adjuvant treatment device disposed within the tissue cavity. - View Dependent Claims (3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9)
