Abstract
- Local treatment of non-resectable liver tumors is common. This brief review describes the local treatment techniques used in Denmark. The techniques are evaluated according to the evidence in literature. The primary local treatment is Radiofrequency Ablation of both primary liver tumors and liver metastasis. Radiofrequency treatment is based on case-control studies, but the impact of the treatment seems obvious. However, randomized controlled studies are necessary in the future in order to guide indications according to different stages of disease, techniques and treatment regimes.
