Abstract
Tumor ablation is a safe and effective treatment available in the multidisciplinary care of the surgical oncology patient. The role of ablation is well established in the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma and is becoming more accepted in the treatment of various malignancies metastatic to the liver, in particular colorectal cancer. Understanding the underlying technology, achieving appropriate applicator placement, using maximum energy delivery to create margins, and performing necessary adjunctive maneuvers are all required for successful tumor ablation.Entities:
