Ablation of Liver Metastases

Metastatic liver disease represents one of the most common clinical problems in oncology practice. Multiple treatment options are available including hepatic resection, chemoembolization, intraarterial and systemic chemotherapy, cryotherapy, and radiofrequency ablation (RFA) (1,2).
