In my opinion, the best link for liver mets +lots more
This link helped me no end, I also gave it to Joy in another post and she really liked it too, so here it goes:
http://livermets.evidencewatch.com/
Please note that the LITT procedure is only available in Germany. However in the US you can have RFA (Radio Frequency Ablation) which has similar results. Just found this link about it http://radiology.rsnajnls.org/cgi/co...full/220/1/145
Also chemo-embolisation and TACE are the same things. Some chemo-embolisation varies in their mode of delivery to the liver and the drug they use. Chemo-embolisation are available in the US.
May it help you too,
Love
Karina
