Research progress of radiofrequency ablation in the treatment of colorectal liver metastases / 中华肝胆外科杂志

ABSTRACT

Colorectal liver metastases (CRLM) is challenging for colorectal cancer therapy, and is also the main cause of death in colorectal cancer patients. In recent years, radiofrequency ablation (RFA) as one of the local treatments for liver tumors, was used in the comprehensive treatment of CRLM in an exploratory manner, expressing its advantages of minimally invasive, feasible, safe, effective and repeatable treatment. This article reviewed the research progress of RFA and RFA combined with other therapy treatments in different stages of CRLM, in order to provide more choices for CRLM comprehensive treatment.
