title: [New perspectives in the treatment of liver metastasis from colorectal cancer: radiofrequency thermal ablation].
abstract: Preliminary results of new treatment of metastatic hepatic malignancies from colo-rectal cancer, the radiofrequency ablation (RFA), are reported. The method is limited by few cases treated and short follow-up but it opens new perspectives in metasurgical treatment of these lesions as regards the previous experiences based on wide numbers of patients, recently reported in the literature.
