Abstract

Unresectable malignant tumors of the liver (e.g., hepatocellular carcinoma, colorectal metastases, neuroendocrine tumors, selected other types of metastases) Tumors <5cm in size (most effective for lesions <3cm) Palliative treatment of symptomatic tumors (e.g., neuroendocrine metastases) Bridge to liver transplantation (hepatocellular carcinoma) Access: Open: In combination with resection When resection is planned, but unresectability is found at time of laparotomy In difficult locations or selected cases when multiple ablations are required percutaneus: not discussed in this atlas Laparoscopic: Patient fulfills basic requirements to undergo surgery Lesion(s) amenable to laparoscopic approach percutaneus: not discussed in this atlas
