| Core Tip |
Repeated radiofrequency ablation in patients with chemotherapy-refractory colorectal liver metastases can no longer be viewed solely as a salvage procedure. When guided by radiologic evidence of viable tumor enhancement and applied in a staged manner, repeat ablation may function as an active, strategy-driven modality for sustained disease control. By integrating tumor size, hepatic reserve, and absence of uncontrolled extrahepatic spread into candidate selection, repeat ablation can serve as a bridge to resection or transplantation, a consolidation method after partial systemic response, or a long-term approach to maintain quality of life. |
