Abstract

Ablation of liver tumors is part of a multimodality liver-directed strategy in the treatment of various tumors. The goal of ablation is complete tumor destruction, and ultimately improvement of quality and quantity of life for the patient. Technology is evolving rapidly, with important improvements in efficacy. The current state of ablation technology and indications for ablation are described in this review.
