The large majority of liver tumors are metastatic, of which colorectal deposits are the most common. Resection is the preferable mode of treatment because it offers the possibility of prolonged survival, but this strategy is only viable in about 25% of patients. This is due to either the proximity of the disease to the portal structures or to the number of metastases. Other treatment options are therefore required for liver tumors, such as chemotherapy, radiofrequency ablation, laser photocoagulation, chemoembolization, and cryotherapy. This article focuses on cryotherapy as a method of treating unresectable hepatic tumors.
绝大多数肝脏肿瘤是转移性的，其中结肠直肠癌转移最为常见。手术切除是首选的治疗方式，因为它能提供延长生存期的可能性，但这种策略仅在约25%的患者中可行。这是由于疾病靠近门静脉结构或转移灶数量所致。因此，肝脏肿瘤还需要其他治疗选择，如化疗、射频消融、激光光凝、化疗栓塞和冷冻疗法。本文重点介绍冷冻疗法作为一种治疗不可切除肝脏肿瘤的方法。
