Why is it important?

In China, where the mortality rate is high, there is an unmet need of large-scale studies to improve the OS in CRLM. To the best of our knowledge, this was the first long-term study conducted in China, which evaluated the efficacy and safety of ultrasound-guided RFA along with systemic CT and molecular-targeted therapy used in the treatment of solitary CRLM for CRC.

Perspectives

In a country like China, where the mortality rate is high, there is an unmet need of large-scale studies to improve the OS in this challenging area of cancer. Therefore, I hope our study would provide insights and create awareness for effective treatment in patients with solitary CRLM for RFA.
