Progress in clinical application of image-guided percutaneous thermal ablation for hepatic tumor in difficult positions
LI Zhi-yan
Abstract：Thermal ablation technology has become the widely used and method in the treatment of hepatic tumor second only to surgical therapy. However, due to difficulty in the procedure and high complication rates, the hepatic tumors which are adjacent to hepatic hilum, intrahepatic important vessels and ducts, gall bladder, diaphragm, gastrointestinal tract and other important parts, are relatively contraindicated for percutaneous thermal ablation. In recent years, along with the progress of image-guided percutaneous technology and ablation equipment, image-guided percutaneous thermal ablation has obtained a reliable curative effect in these difficult positions of the hepatic tumors. In this paper, the clinical applications of image-guided percutaneous thermal ablation technology in the difficult positions of the hepatic tumors are reviewed.
