Abstract:
Liver metastasis is the most common cause of death for patients with colorectal cancer.Surgical resection is the first choice for colorectal cancer liver metastasis (CRLMs),but only 10%-25% of them are resectable.Patients with unresectable CRLMs are usually treated with systemic chemotherapy and/or local ablative therapies as alternative options.The safety and efficiency of thermal ablation therapies have been improved in recent years.The 5-year survival rate of patients underwent thermal ablation is higher than that of patients underwent chemotherapy for treating CRLMs.A consensus for thermal ablation of colorectal liver metastasis was provided by international experts panel on 2013.The recommendations and indications of thermal ablation for CRLMs were considered and documented according to the literature review based on radiofrequency ablation with long-term follow-up.The main content of the consensus from international experts for thermal ablation of colorectal liver metastasis were reviewed in this article.
