Abstract:
Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) for liver metastasis of colorectal (H-CRC) origin is a well-documented technique in surgically unresectable disease. Overall recurrence figures appear inferior to resection but are based on a selection of patients with unresectable disease, often due to multiple localisations of extensive disease. Lesion based recurrence is probably more appropriate to predict results of RFA in surgically resectable H-CRC and figures may be good enough to consider RFA an alternative treatment in high risk patients.
