• RFA was primarily successful for 232/238 (97.5%) subdiaphragmatic dome tumors. Local tumor recurrence developed in 21 of 238 tumors (8.8%). • The major complication rate directly related to ablation of the hepatic dome tumors was 10.7% (22 of 204). 12/22 (55%) of major complications could be successfully treated in the same anesthesia session. • There was no significant difference in adverse events or disease control rates between the subdiaphragmatic tumors and matched controls.
