About this trial
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if radiofrequency ablation works to treat recurrent colorectal cancer liver metastases after surgery in adults. It will also learn about the safety of radiofrequency ablation. The main questions it aims to answer are:
Is radiofrequency ablation safe and effective in the treatment of recurrent colorectal cancer liver metastases? What medical problems do participants have when treating with radiofrequency ablation? Does radiofrequency ablation enable patients with recurrent colorectal cancer liver metastases to live longer? Researchers will compare systemic therapy combined with radiofrequency ablation to systemic therapy to see if radiofrequency ablation works to treat liver metastases better.
Participants will:
Receive systemic treatment for colorectal cancer liver metastases. Undergo (or not) radiofrequency ablation for colorectal cancer liver metastases.
Visit the hospital once every 3 months for checkups and tests.
