Abstract:
We report our experience with percutaneous image-guided radiofrequency (RF) ablation to treat isolated nodal metastases. Four patients underwent image-guided percutaneous RF ablation of metastatic disease involving retrocrural nodes, retroperitoneal nodes, or pelvic nodes. Coagulation necrosis was achieved in all cases.
