Minimally invasive image-guided therapy of primary and metastatic pancreatic cancer

Figure 3 Percutaneous computed tomography-guided microwave ablation of a solitary pancreatic adenocarcinoma liver metastasis. A: 62-year-old female presented with a 2 cm solitary liver metastasis (orange arrow), 9 mo after the surgical resection of the primary tumor from the pancreatic head; B: Intraprocedural image shows the microwave antenna in the liver metastasis; C and D: Axial and coronal contrast-enhanced computed tomography images 1 mo after the ablation demonstrates a 4.3 Í 2.7 cm hypodense ablation zone (orange arrows). There was no evidence of residual or new metastases in the liver. Patient is currently on systemic therapy 2 mo after the ablation without evidence of disease.
