The liver is a common site for primary malignancy and hematogenous metastasis. Although surgical resection of primary or metastatic hepatic tumors is generally regarded as first-line therapy, the majority of patients with hepatic malignancy have disease that is not amenable to surgical resection because of tumor location, poor hepatic reserve, or medical comorbidities. This has led to significant interest in the development of nonsurgical image-guided therapies, including radiofrequency ablation (RFA). RFA is appealing as a minimally invasive therapy that may be performed on an outpatient basis. It enables ablation of an area 3 to 5 cm in diameter, with relatively low morbidity and mortality rates. The results concerning the use of percutaneous RFA in the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma, colorectal metastases, and other hepatic metastases are reviewed in this article. Clinical and technical considerations and complications are also discussed.
