Radiofrequency Ablation of Hepatic Lesions: A Review
http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/464845

Abstract
For primary and secondary tumors of the liver, surgical resection has been the
standard of care. But many hepatic tumors are advanced and are not amenable to
surgery. Of the minimally invasive treatments available, radiofrequency (RF)
ablation is fast becoming an important alternative treatment modality. In this
article, the authors present the technical aspects and outcomes of RF ablation
in treatment of hepatic tumors.
