Key Words	Microwave ablation; Colorectal liver metastases; Thermal ablation techniques; Clinical outcomes; Tumor ablation safety
Core Tip	This review focuses on the application of microwave ablation (MWA) as a treatment for colorectal liver metastasis. MWA offers advantages such as higher intratumoral temperatures, larger ablation zones, and reduced heat-sink effects compared to other techniques such as radiofrequency ablation. This review also discusses the safety and clinical outcomes of MWA and emphasizes its potential as an effective treatment for colorectal liver metastasis. Despite its benefits, this review highlights the need for further research to confirm long-term efficacy and optimize patient selection for better outcomes.
