Title: Radiofrequency ablation of malignant liver tumors in 304 patients
Abstract: Many patients with hepatocellular cancer (HCC) or liver-only metastases from other solid tumours are not candidates for liver resection because of tumour number, location near major vessels, or coexistent cirrhosis. Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is a technique that permits local treatment in some of these unresectable patients by producing heat-induced coagulative necrosis. We performed this study to assess 1) the complication rate and 2) treatment efficacy associated with RFA of liver malignancies.
