Core Tip	We have described the technical aspects of radiofrequency ablation (RFA), advances in delivery mechanisms, indications for usage, and its equivalence or lack of equivalence to surgical resection. We emphasized studies that reported long term oncologic outcomes associated with RFA use for primary and metastatic liver and lung tumors, and described the evolving role of RFA for breast and solid renal tumors.
