The results of this study showed that RFA is a safe and locally effective method for the treatment of BCLM, especially in patients with lesions measuring less than 3 cm in diameter, a single liver metastasis, positive estrogen receptor status and no extrahepatic metastases. Also, patients with margin size >10 mm had no local tumor progression.
