ABSTRACT
Colorectal liver metastases (CRLM) are one of the main causes of death among the patients with colorectal cancer,yet most patients with CRLM are unable to get radical resection.Fortunately,thermal ablation can yield long-term survival efficacy in this population of CRLM patients.Currently,thermal ablation is the first-line treatment among other ablation technologies,including radiofrequency ablation and microwave ablation (MWA).However,recent advancements in microwave ablation techniques increase consideration of this method in the treatment of CRLM,such asreliable,fast,efficient and rarely affected by heat-sink effect.This article aims to review the mechanism,efficacy,complications of MWA in treating CRLM.
