Abstract:
:Fifty-five liver metastases in 21 patients were treated with interstitial laser photocoagulation (ILP). Tumors were irradiated with a neodymium yttrium aluminum garnet laser via optical fibers passed through 19-gauge needles inserted under ultrasound (US) guidance. Heating of the tumor was evident at real-time US as an expanding and coalescing echogenic zone around the needle tips. After ILP, dynamic computed tomography (CT) showed laser-induced necrosis as a new area of nonenhancement. Necrosis of tumor volume was more than 50% in 82% (45 of 55) of the tumors, and 100% necrosis was achieved in 38% (21 of 55). Metastases smaller than 4 cm in diameter were treated more effectively and required fewer treatment sessions than did those larger than 4 cm. Complications were minor and included severe pain in four cases, persistent pain for up to 10 days in 11 cases, and asymptomatic subcapsular hematoma (four cases) and pleural effusion (six cases) seen with CT. ILP is safe and effective for liver tumor destruction, and US and CT are useful in different aspects of treatment monitoring.
