| Abstract: | Aim: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of uncooled TATO microwave ablation (MWA) for primary and metastatic liver cancer. Materials & methods: This was a retrospective study on percutaneous liver ablations performed with TATO MWA. Twenty-five ablations were performed; 11 (44%) were performed for hepatocellular carcinoma, 14 (56%) for colorectal carcinoma, gastric and pancreatic metastases. Results: Adverse events were reported only in one (4%) ablation: an abscess that was observed in the ablated area and was resolved with a percutaneous drainage and antibiotic therapy. Local tumor control rate was 92% at the 3-month follow-up. Conclusion: TATO MWA was safe and effective with high reproducibility in treating primary and secondary liver cancer with satisfactory technical and clinical outcomes. © 2023 The Authors. |
