• In recent years, radiofrequency ablation of tumor has been rapidly accepted in clinical practice. Even if the main clinical application remains for non-operable liver tumors, this technique is increasingly applied to kidney, lung, adrenal gland and bone. Radiofrequency (RF) is used in most current devices to resect by heating tumor tissue under imaging guidance. In the case hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), several techniques have been implemented worldwide for therapeutic treatment. Various options that may provide a high rate of complete positive response include mainly surgical (resection, transplantation) and minimally invasive treatments. Indication for surgical resection is currently restricted to patients with single asymptomatic HCC and extremely well-preserved liver function, presenting neither significant portal hypertension nor abnormal bilirubin. Cadaver liver transplantation is limited by the shortage of donors and living donor liver transplantation is still at an early stage of clinical application. Therefore, minimally invasive treatments play a key role in the therapeutic management of HCC. While ethanol injection or chemoembolization are well-established techniques for percutaneous ablation, several newer methods of tumor resection have been developed and clinically tested over the past few years. Among these methods, RF thermal ablation constitutes the most interesting studied alternative to the above mentioned techniques. In this chapter minimally invasive therapies for liver tumors will be briefly reviewed together with some emerging clinical applications to other human sites. (literal)
