Long-term results of percutaneous radiofrequency ablation of unresectable colorectal hepatic metastases: final outcomes.
INTRODUCTION Percutaneous radiofrequency ablation (PcRFA) provides alternative means of treating patients with unresectable colorectal liver metastases. We previously reported our initial experience in 30 patients treated with PcRFA. We present the final long-term results in these 30 patients. METHODS The final outcome of the 30 patients treated with PcRFA is reported, 30 months following the...

متن کاملLong-Term Outcomes Following Hepatic Resection and Radiofrequency Ablation of Colorectal Liver Metastases
Recently some have called for randomized controlled trials comparing RFA to hepatic resection, particularly for patients with only a few small metastases. The objectives were to compare local recurrence and survival following RFA and hepatic resection for colorectal liver metastases. This was a retrospective review of open RFA and hepatic resection for colorectal liver metastases between Januar...

متن کاملPercutaneous radiofrequency ablation of hepatic colorectal metastases: technique, indications, results, and new promises.
Surgical resection is the standard of care for colorectal metastases isolated to the liver. However, only 10-25% of the patients are eligible for resection because of extent and location of the disease in the liver or concurrent medical conditions. Image-guided radiofrequency (RF) ablation is a minimally invasive technique that is emerging as a viable alternate treatment of nonsurgical patients...
