RESULTSMedian interval between RF and liver transplantation was 8 months (range 2 to 24). Median diameter of the treated tumor nodules was 35 mm (range 17 to 60)(Table 1). No deaths or major complications occurred following either RF or OLT; after a mean posttransplant follow-up of 16 months (range 1 to 32), all patients are alive and tumor free. With respect to post-RF pathology reports, 10 of 14 patients (71%) had a complete tumor necrosis on both pre-OLT radiologic and post-OLT histologic evaluation. In the other four cases (28.5%), incomplete tumor destructions were determined at pathology examination, with all those cases ranked as “incompletely treated” also at pretransplant CT scan. In only one case (patient 7 in Table 1) the tumor necrosis induced by RF was widely underestimated at the CT scan.
