The work presents an experience with cryosurgical treatment of malignant and benign tumors of the liver in 110 patients. The cryosurgery was performed using an original apparatus. The methods of resection of the liver using cryosurgical instruments are described which reduce the intraoperative blood loss and facilitate visualization of the vascular-tubular structures along the resection line. The use of low temperatures allows optimization and extension of indications for operative interventions. Cryodestruction of the residual portion of the liver tissue after resection can be taken as a subsidiary means for prevention of dissemination of tumor cells.

Local Ablation Therapy for Hepatocellular Carcinoma: Clinical Significance of Tumor Size, Location, and Biology.
Invest Radiol
January 2025
From the Department of Radiology and Center for Imaging Science, Samsung Medical Center, Sungkyunkwan University School of Medicine, Seoul, Republic of Korea (M.W.L., S.H., K.G., H.R.); and Department of Health Sciences and Technology, SAIHST, Sungkyunkwan University, Seoul, Republic of Korea (M.W.L., H.R.).
Local ablation therapy, encompassing radiofrequency ablation (RFA), microwave ablation, and cryoablation, has emerged as a crucial strategy for managing small hepatocellular carcinomas (HCCs), complementing liver resection and transplantation. This review delves into the clinical significance of tumor size, location, and biology in guiding treatment decisions for HCCs undergoing local ablation therapy, with a focus on tumors smaller than 3 cm. Tumor size significantly influences treatment outcomes, with larger tumors associated with poorer local tumor control due to challenges in creating sufficient ablative margins and the likelihood of microvascular invasion and peritumoral satellite nodules.

Purpose: Disease control and survival following percutaneous ablation of hepatic epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (EHE) was studied retrospectively.
Methods: Six patients underwent 16 image-guided ablation procedures to treat 35 liver tumors from 2015 to 2022 (17 microwave ablation, 9 irreversible electroporation, 8 cryoablation, and 1 radiofrequency ablation). Technical success, local progression, intrahepatic progression, distant progression, overall survival, and adverse events were assessed.
Meta-analysis of cryoablation versus radiofrequency ablation in the treatment of malignant liver tumors.

Department of Radiology, The Fifth People's Hospital of Suzhou, Suzhou City, Jiangsu Province, China.
Objective: A meta-analysis was conducted to assess the efficacy and safety of cryoablation (CRA) compared with radiofrequency ablation (RFA).
Methods: A systematic search of PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, Wanfang, CNKI, and VIP databases was conducted to identify clinical controlled studies comparing CRA versus RFA for hepatic malignancies up to July 2022. The meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.
Cryoablation in the liver: how accurately does the iceball predict the ablation zone?

February 2024
Division of Interventional Radiology, Department of Radiology, University of Arizona, 1501 N Campbell Ave, PO Box 245067, Tucson, AZ, 85724, USA.
Purpose: To evaluate the accuracy with which the iceball predicts the realized ablation zone in patients undergoing cryoablation of the liver.
Materials And Methods: Continuous patients who underwent cryoablation of primary or secondary malignancies of the liver were retrospectively reviewed. Iceball and ablation zone dimensions on 1 month follow up imaging were collected in three orientations, the long axis (LA), perpendicular transverse (PTR), and perpendicular craniocaudal (PCC).

Background: Liver metastasis is present in a wide range of malignancies, with colorectal cancer as the most common site. Several minimally invasive treatments have been suggested for managing hepatic metastases, and cryoablation is among them, yet not widely used. In this systematic review, we aimed to assess the effectiveness of percutaneous cryoablation in all types of liver metastases.
