Zusammenfassung

Die interstitielle Tumortherapie von primären und sekundären Tumoren der Leber stellt ein noch junges, aber sich stets weitentwickelndes Verfahren dar. Unter den thermoablativen Verfahren hat insbesondere die Radiofrequenzablation (RFA) zunehmende Aufmerksamkeit erreicht, vornehmlich aufgrund des gegenüber den anderen Hyperthermieverfahren besseren Wirkungsgrades.
Diese Arbeit bietet einen Überblick über die Grundlagen, Technik, Indikationen und bisherigen klinischen Ergebnisse der RFA von Lebermetastasen.

Abstract

Thermal coagulation therapy is a rapidly evolving technique for the treatment of primary and secondary hepatic tumors. Radiofrequency is gaining most of the attention of these techniques due to its superior effectiveness.
This article outlines technical considerations, indications and clinical results with RF ablation in the liver.
