[Radiofrequency ablation of colorectal liver metastases].

Background: Radiofrequency (RF) ablation is a method that uses electrical current for thermal destruction of solid tumours. We present our experience with RF ablation in a patient population with non-resectable colorectal liver metastases.

Material And Methods: 17 of the 23 patients with non-resectable liver metastases treated with RF ablation at Rikshospitalet University Hospital from 2003 to 2006, were included in a prospective non-randomized study with standardized follow-up.
