Local recurrence rate in patients with colorectal cancer liver metastasis after wedge resection or percutaneous radiofrequency ablation.

CONCLUSION: Our study showed a trend towards a lower LR rate with RFA compared to WR. Lesions located deep in the liver and/or close to large vessels are at high risk of LR following WR, while curative treatment can be obtained with RFA. PMID: 29506424 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
