ABSTRACT
This article outlines the surgeon's perspective on radiofrequency ablation of both hepatocellular carcinoma and metastatic disease. The results of studies performed intra-operatively for treatment of these types of tumors are discussed.
KEYWORDS
Surgical ablation - hepatic carcinoma - colorectal metastases
