    Author: Padma S, Martinie JB, Iannitti DA.
    Journal: J Surg Oncol; 2009 Dec 15; 100(8):619-34. PubMed ID: 20017157.
    Abstract:
    The global incidence of liver cancer is greater than a million cases a year. Surgical resection where applicable is still the standard of care for these patients. Various liver-directed regional therapies have been developed in an effort to treat the vast majority of unresectable liver tumors. This article reviews the principles behind various ablation therapies currently available for malignant liver tumors and their outcomes.
