Percutaneous stereotactic radiofrequency ablation (SRFA) effectively treated unresectable intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC). This minimally invasive technique offers a promising option for patients with advanced liver cancer.

Area of Science:

  • Interventional Radiology
  • Oncology
  • Hepatobiliary Surgery

Background:

  • Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) is a challenging liver cancer.
  • Unresectable ICC often has limited treatment options.
  • Percutaneous ablation techniques are evolving for liver tumors.

Observation:

  • A 72-year-old male patient presented with multifocal, unresectable ICC.
  • Stereotactic radiofrequency ablation (SRFA) involved precise probe placement guided by CT.
  • An impedance-based, multiple-electrode system was used for ablation.

Findings:

  • SRFA successfully ablated multifocal ICC lesions.
  • The patient experienced no major complications, only mild pleural effusion.
  • Distant metastases were also treated effectively with SRFA.

  • The patient achieved disease-free status 38 months post-diagnosis.

    • Implications:

    • SRFA demonstrates potential as an effective treatment for unresectable ICC.
    • This technique may offer a minimally invasive alternative for selected patients.
    • Further research into SRFA for ICC is warranted.
