Purpose: The aim of this study was to determine the energy (J/mm(3) tumor volume) and temperature required for a complete laser-induced thermotherapy (LITT) of experimental liver tumors, and to find out causes and areas of local recurrence followed by incomplete treatment.Methods: In VX-2 tumor-bearing rabbits LITT was performed using neodymium:yttrium-aluminum-garnet (Nd:YAG) laser (1064 nm) with a diffuser-tip applicator and a temperature feedback system. The animals were randomized into four groups (n=20) that differed in the target temperature at the tumor border as follows: 45 degreesC, 50 degreesC, 55 degreesC and 60 degreesC. The target temperature was held for 10 min constant. Histologic examination (hematoxylin and eosin [H&E], nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate [NADPH]-dehydrogenase) was performed at 0 h, 24 h, 96 h, and 14 days aver LITT.Results: The pretreatment tumor volume of 2191 +/- 61 mm(3) was the same for all groups (p>0.05). Energy up to target temperature and total energy required, lesion size, and the rate of incomplete tumor ablation (recurrences) are listed below ((a)p
