Liver transplantation (LT) has become standard of care in patients with non-resectable early stage hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in liver cirrhosis. Currently, patient selection for LT is strictly based on tumor size and number, provided by the Milan cr
Microwave ablation (MWA) is an effective treatment for liver cancer (LC), but its impact on distant tumors remains to be fully elucidated. This study investigated the abscopal effects triggered by MWA treatment of LC, at different power levels and with o
For patients with unresectable liver metastases, the survival benefit afforded by resection of the primary lesion alone remains controversial. Primary tumor excision enhances quality of life and minimizes the adverse effects of systemic chemotherapy, as well as the risk of primary tumor complications (...
