title: [Radio frequency ablation for metastatic liver cancer].
abstract: Radio frequency ablation (RFA) is widely used as a therapeutic method for hepatocellular carcinoma. It led to more favorable therapeutic results than percutaneous ethanol injection (PEI), which is currently in use. RFA has been used as a new therapeutic tool for metastatic liver cancer. We describe the present situation in our institution regarding RFA therapy for metastatic liver cancer originating from colorectal carcinoma.
