In the liver cancer maze, SAGES/AHPBA experts wielded microwaves and radiofrequency ablation (RFA) to guide decisions for tumors under 5 cm. Assessing outcomes and techniques, they found evidence somewhat shaky but suggested both microwave (MWA) and RFA are viable for selected patients, with laparoscopic MWA having higher risks but similar survival. However, caution blinked in grouping hepatocellular carcinoma and colorectal metastases, signaling a need for careful patient consideration in this tech-driven liver tumor dance.
