Over a period of 2 years, MRI-guided cryoablations were
performed in 10 patients presenting with complex cases
of primary or secondary malignant liver tumors. Tumors
(average diameter 2cm) were either not visible in
CT/ultrasound, difficult to approach, or not treatable
with radiofrequency ablation. Primary endpoint of this
retrospective study was local recurrence in the ablated
area. Over the follow-up period ranging from 8 to 44
months: local recurrence occurred in two patients; three
patients died and one patient was lost to follow-up
without evidence of local recurrence; other patients
remained disease-free at the end of the study.
