The data of this 10-year prospective, randomized clinical trial suggest that hepatic cryosurgery is effective in the treatment of resectable and nonresectable LM. The results show intraoperative tumor reduction (> or = 90% < or = 97%) and extended higher survival in these patients. The study indicated a 5-year and 10-year survival rate of 44% and 19% after cryosurgery, respectively.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
