	abstract = {Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the second most common cause of cancer death in the developed world and the third most common malignancy worldwide, with more than 1 million people affected. Approximately half of this population develops colorectal liver metastases (CLM) with a significant increase in morbidity and mortality, yet only a minority of these patients (10–15%) can undergo hepatectomy (1). Image-guided percutaneous thermal ablation (TA) destroys cancer cells by delivering heat directly into the tumor using radiofrequency (RFA) or microwave (MWA) energy, via special needles/electrodes.},
