AB  - Radiofrequency  ablation  (RFA)  of  liver  tumors  can  be  performed  percutaneously,  laparoscopically,  or  through  a  traditional  open  incision.  The  most  common  indication  for  RFA  is  unresectable  primary  or  metastatic  hepatic  cancer.  RFA  can  also  be  applied  to  a  potentially  resectable  hepatic  neoplasm  in  a  patient  with  a  prohibitive  operative  risk  secondary  to  severe  medical  comorbidities  or  compromised  hepatocellular  reserve  (cirrhosis).  The  role  of  RFA  in  non-neuroendocrine  neoplasms  with  extrahepatic  metastases  is  unclear.  RFA  can  provide  effective  symptomatic  palliation  for  unresectable  functional  neuroendocrine  neoplasms.
