Laparoscopic Microwave Ablation vs Resection for Small Solitary Colorectal Liver Metastases: Multicenter Analysis of Long-Term Results
In this multi-institutional study, laparoscopic MWA and resection had comparable outcomes in terms of disease-free survival and overall survival for less than 3 cm CRLM. Our findings support the noninferiority of ablation vs resection for the surgical treatment of small solitary CRLM in appropriate patients.
