ABSTRACT
Minimally invasive image-guided procedures such as radiofrequency (RF) ablation, high intensity ultrasonography and microwave, as well as injectable therapies such as ethanol are becoming ever more useful options for the treatment of liver tumors. In this review, we focus initially on current clinical practice and research on radiofrequency ablation for both primary hepatocellular carcinoma and hepatic metastases from colon, breast, and neuroendocrine tumors. We then examine various treatment approaches such as laparoscopy and laparotomy, as well as the use of adjuvant therapies and imaging guidance. Finally, complications and current limitations of therapy are discussed.
