Description
Mario Romeo and colleagues present a 2026 case report on treating a bowel cancer spread in the liver. Their patient was a 52-year-old woman whose rectal cancer had been treated with drugs, radiation, and surgery. One liver spot, about 17 millimeters wide, sat near a large vein and bile ducts in a liver full of cysts, making standard imaging unclear.
A contrast ultrasound scan showed rim brightening and fast washout, signs of living tumor. Surgery and heat-based burning were judged poor fits for the spot's position. Doctors instead used electric pulses, a method that kills cells without heat, guided by ultrasound. The scan right after showed full coverage. Six months later, scans showed no leftover or returning disease in the liver.
