Abstract
Purpose: The aim of this study is to evaluate long-term survival and prognostic factors for radio-frequency ablation (RFA) in colorectal liver metastases.
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 35 colorectal liver metastases patients who underwent RFA between 2004 and 2008. We analyzed survival after RFA and prognostic factors for survival.
Results: Of the 35 patients, 23 patients were male and 12 were female. Their mean age was 62.40 ¡¾ 12.52 years. Mean overall survival was 38.8 ¡¾ 4.6 months, and mean progression free survival was 19.9 ¡¾ 3.4 months. Three- and 5-year overall survival rates were 42.7 ¡¾ 0.1% and 26.0 ¡¾ 0.1%, respectively. Three- and 5-year progression-free survival rates were 19.6 ¡¾ 0.1% and 4.9 ¡¾ 0.04%, respectively. Overall survival and progression-free survival were significantly improved in male and in patients with carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) ¡Â 100 ng/mL, carbohydrate antigen (CA) 19-9 ¡Â 100 ng/mL, absence of extrahepatic disease, and a unilobar hepatic lesion. In addition, progression-free survival was improved in patients with a solitary hepatic lesion. On the multivariate analysis, significant survival factors were the absence of extrahepatic disease and the presence of a unilobar hepatic lesion.
Conclusion: RFA for colorectal liver metastases is an effective treatment option in male patients and in patients with CEA or CA19-9 ¡Â 100, absence of extrahepatic disease, a solitary hepatic lesion, and a unilobar hepatic lesion.
