Abstract		Radiofreqency ablation (RFA) is a local ablative method for treatment of unresectable liver metastases and hepatocellular carcinoma. Patients treated are not suitable for surgical resection due to tumor location or advanced liver disease or they do not want to be operated. RFA is often used as adjuvat therapy with surgical resection. First RFA in Slovenia was performed in July 2001. Until March 2004 16 patients were treated, 6 due to HCC, 9 due to metastases of the colorectal carcinoma and one due to liver metastases of carcinoid. RFA is a safe method for treatment liver malignant tumors.
