          Abstract

          Patients with non-resectable liver metastases of colorectal cancer have poor prognosis and are mainly treated by palliative chemotherapy. Laser interstitial thermo-therapy is an innovative minimal invasive procedure for local tumour destruction within solid organs. The aim of the study was to investigate quality of life and outcome of ultrasound-guided laser interstitial thermo-therapy (US-LITT) in patients with liver metastases of colorectal cancer.
