Core Tip	The current study corroborates the consensus in the literature which proposes that adequate patients’ selection before radiofrequency ablation (RFA) therapy is vitally important to achieving a satisfactory ablation success. To the best of our knowledge, the consensus proposed that patients with more than 5 hepatic me-ta-stases and tumour size of more than 40 mm are probably unsuitable for RFA. Furthermore, inadvertent inclusion of patients with extra-hepatic metastases for RFA treatment of colorectal liver metastases is an important factor that can influence negatively the overall patients’ survival.
