Established and emerging ablative therapies for liver tumors are reviewed. Magnetic resonance imaging guided laser interstitial thermal therapy shows promise, with future non-invasive treatments on the horizon.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Medical Physics
  • Interventional Radiology

Background:

  • Primary and secondary liver tumors require effective treatment options.
  • Established ablative therapies include percutaneous ethanol injection, cryotherapy, and radiofrequency ablation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review established and emerging ablative therapies for liver tumors.
  • To discuss the efficacy and future potential of novel thermal ablation techniques.

Main Methods:

  • Review of established ablative techniques for liver tumors.
  • Analysis of outcomes for magnetic resonance imaging guided laser interstitial thermal therapy.
  • Discussion of emerging technologies like focused ultrasound therapy.

Main Results:

  • Established therapies provide treatment options for liver tumors.
  • Magnetic resonance imaging guided laser interstitial thermal therapy resulted in a median survival of 40.8 months.
  • Focused ultrasound therapy represents a promising non-invasive, outpatient treatment approach.

Conclusions:

  • Magnetic resonance imaging guided laser interstitial thermal therapy is an effective emerging treatment for liver tumors.
  • Future developments in non-invasive thermoablation, such as focused ultrasound, offer significant potential for patient care.
