title: [Radiofrequency thermal ablation and its comlications in complex treatment of patients with liver cancer].
abstract: An analysis of efficacy of radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is presented in this article in 55 patients with liver cancer (82 interventions). According to the data of ultrasound investigations and computer tomography taken after 12 months from the first procedure, there weren't noted the growth of foci, which were subjected to RFA. Recurrent sessions using RFA were carried out on liver tumors in 6 patients after 3-11 months because of big size of primary lesion or newly revealed liver metastases. The cumulative one-year survival consisted of 88,2+/-7,9%, two-year survival - 68,0+/-14,1%.
