Percutaneous radiofrequency ablation of liver metastases in potential candidates for resection

Abstract

The results of the current study suggest that current RF ablation techniques, when used as part of a test-of-time management approach, can decrease the number of resections performed. The approach results in complete tumor necrosis in some patients and provide an interval for others who ultimately will develop new intrahepatic and/or extrahepatic metastases to do so.
