N2 - Introduction: Local therapies for liver tumors are considered to be safe. However, cryoablation (CA) has been associated with an exaggerated systemic inflammatory response (SIR). Aim of this study was to assess the degree of SIR after radiofrequency ablation (RFA) in comparison with major (MR) or minor (mR) liver resection. Material and methods: Thirty-nine patients were treated with REA (n = 11), MR (it = 10) or mR (n = 18). SIR parameters [white blood count (WBC) and C-reactive protein (CRP)], proinflammatory mediators [IL-6, TNF-alpha and sPLA2], liver damage parameters [AST/ALT] and platelet counts were determined at different time points. The volume of ablated liver was calculated on the first CT after RFA in order to correlate ablated liver volume with liver enzyme release and SIR. All data are expressed as median values with quartiles [25%, 75%]. Results: REA induced a moderate SIR, as demonstrated by a significant elevation of CRP (77 mg/L vs 3 mg/L), IL-6 (96 pg/mI vs 4 pg/ml) and sPLA2 (41 ng/ml vs 7 ng/ml, p <0.05). Peak point values of SIR (WBC and CRP at 24 vs 48 h and 48 vs 72 h) and proinflammatory response parameters (24 vs 48 h) occurred earlier after RFA than after mR or MR. Time-to-time comparison revealed even increased levels of CRP (77 mg/L [59, 160]) 24 It after REA when compared to patients undergoing major or minor resection (50 mg/L [28, 661 and 59 mg/L [24, 91], respectively) and increased levels of IL-6 (67 pg/ml [42, 131]) 4 h after RFA when compared to patients undergoing minor resection (29 pg/ml [20, 55]). Postoperative levels of AST and LDH correlated significantly with the ablated liver volume 1 h after REA (RC = 0.860 and RC = 0.868, respectively, p <0.05). Conclusion: REA induced a moderate SIR of the same magnitude as in patients undergoing partial liver resection. None of the patients showed signs of an exaggerated SIR, as has been reported after cryoablation. (c) 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved
