Background:

Liver tumor ablation is a growing treatment modality for complex oncologic patients.
Percutaneous ablation is a first-line therapy for early hepatocellular carcinoma and a second-line for liver metastases from colorectal cancer.
Thermal ablation is applicable to various primary and secondary liver tumors, necessitating an understanding of tumor biology.

Purpose of the Study:

To review current liver tumor ablation techniques.
To discuss indications, patient selection, and imaging surveillance for percutaneous ablation.
To emphasize technique-specific considerations for performing percutaneous liver tumor ablation.

Main Methods:

Review of existing literature on percutaneous liver tumor ablation.
Analysis of current clinical guidelines and practice standards.
Emphasis on imaging and technique-specific aspects of ablation procedures.

Main Results:

Percutaneous ablation is established for specific liver cancer stages and types.
Tumor biology understanding is vital for optimizing ablation outcomes.
Detailed review covers modalities, indications, selection, surveillance, and techniques.

Conclusions:

Percutaneous ablation is an effective and evolving treatment for liver tumors.
Careful patient selection and understanding of tumor biology enhance ablation success.
This review provides a comprehensive guide for performing percutaneous liver ablation.
