[Two case reports with hepatic metastases of colorectal cancer treated with radiofrequency ablation, raising the possibility of local control in the liver].
Only hepatic metastasectomy has been shown to have a therapeutic effect for hepatic metastases of colorectal cancer if the primary tumor can be removed radically according to the 2014 guidelines of the Japanese Society for Cancer of the Colon and Rectum. However, only a few patients with hepatic metastases are candidates for metastasectomy due to tumor factors other than the hepatic metastases. Furthermore, hepatic metastasectomy is frequently judged to be impossible in older patients due to underlying diseases and surgical tolerability. In such cases, therefore, treatment is often difficult. Herein, we report 2 patients with hepatic metastases of colorectal cancer treated with radiofrequency ablation, raising the possibility of local control in the liver.
