Abstract

Minimally invasive, image guided radiofrequency ablation RFA now provides an effective local treatment of isolated or localized neoplastic diseases, and is also being used as an adjunct to conventional surgery, systemic chemotherapy or radiation. It is now the front line treatment in unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma and its use in other neoplastic diseases continues to expand.
