Abstract
Neoplastic seeding may occur after RFA of liver tumors. The results show that the frequency of this complication is not insignificant, and are at the upper end of rates reported in the literature of 0.5% to 2.8%. Specific risk factors identified in this study include treatment of subcapsular lesions, patients treated in multiple sessions, and lesions requiring more than one electrode placement.
