Microwave Ablation for Hepatic Malignancies

This study hypothesized that tumor size, number of tumors, surgical approach, and tumor histology significantly affected microwave ablation (MWA) success and recurrence-free survival.Although many hepatobiliary centers have adopted MWA, the factors that influence local control are not well described.Consecutive patients with hepatic malignancy treated by MWA were included from 4 high-volume institutions (2003-2011) and grouped by histology:...
