Incidence and Treatment of Local Site Recurrences Following RFA of Colorectal Liver Metastases
Patients with colorectal liver metastases (CRLM) who are ineligible for curative surgery are potential candidates for radiofrequency ablation (RFA). Although RFA has emerged as a well accepted and documented t...

Article
Open AccessThe use of PET-MRI in the follow-up after radiofrequency- and microwave ablation of colorectal liver metastases
Thermal ablation of colorectal liver metastases (CRLM) may result in local progression, which generally appear within a year of treatment. As the timely diagnosis of this progression allows potentially curativ...

Article
Radiofrequency Ablation to Improve Survival After Conversion Chemotherapy for Colorectal Liver Metastases
Systemic chemotherapy is able to convert colorectal liver metastases (CRLM) that are initially unsuitable for local treatment into locally treatable disease. Surgical resection further improves survival in the...

Article
Open AccessRF Ablation of Giant Hemangiomas Inducing Acute Renal Failure: A Report of Two Cases
In patients that require treatment for hepatic giant cavernous hemangiomas (GCH), radiofrequency ablation (RFA) has been suggested to represent a safe and effective alternative to invasive surgery. In a recent...

Article
Open AccessMR and CT imaging characteristics and ablation zone volumetry of locally advanced pancreatic cancer treated with irreversible electroporation
To assess specific imaging characteristics after irreversible electroporation (IRE) for locally advanced pancreatic carcinoma (LAPC) with contrast-enhanced (ce)MRI and ceCT, and to explore the correlation of t...

Chapter
Irreversible Electroporation for Perihilar Cholangiocarcinoma (Klatskin Tumors)
The overall prognosis for patients with perihilar cholangiocarcinoma (PHC) is dismal. Resection of the tumor remains the only curative treatment, but only 10–20% of patients have resectable disease at the time...
