Background,Motivation and Objective Surgery is the only curative treatment in patients with colorectal liver metastases(CLM),but only 10–20 %of patients are eligible.High Intensity Focused Ultrasound(HIFU) technology is of proven value in several indications,notably prostate cancer.Intra-operative use of HIFU in patients with CLM has not previously been studied.Preclinical work suggested the safety and feasibility of an intra-operative toroidal HIFU device capable of ablating liver volumes of up to 50 cm3 in a few seconds.
