Abstract

A wide array of ablation technologies, in addition to the progressive sophistication of imaging technologies and percutaneous, laparoscopic, and open surgical techniques, have allowed us to expand treatment options for patients with liver tumors. In this article, technical considerations of chemical and thermal ablations and their application in hepatic oncology are reviewed.
