Certain embodiments of the present invention provide methods (100) and systems for improved tumor ablation. Certain embodiments include determining a distance between a tumor (320) and at least one of a plurality of landmarks (330, 335) bounding the tumor (320) in at least one acquired image (310) of an area of interest for a patient (130), obtaining positional data for an ablation instrument (340) (140), and displaying a position of the ablation instrument (340) with respect to the tumor (320). Additionally, a position of the ablation instrument (340) may be dynamically displayed on the fluoroscopic image (350) and/or the at least one acquired image (310) during tumor ablation. Furthermore, a location cursor on the fluoroscopic image (350) may be linked with a location cursor on the one or more acquired images (310) (150). In certain embodiments, a location of a tip of the ablation instrument (340) may be dynamically displayed with respect to a starting location and an ending location of the tumor (320).
