Of these, nine patients had HCC, and 83 had metastases (46 colorectal and 37 non-colorectal metastases). Retrospective analysis was conducted on patients\u2019 age, sex, pre- and post-procedural laboratory values (white blood cell count, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio), tumor and ablation zone dimensions (preprocedure and post-procedure day 1 and months 1, 3, and 6), details of the single-shot MWA procedure (duration, power output), procedure-related complications, and local progression\/recurrence during follow-up.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The technical success rate of MWA was 100%. Ablations were performed at a median power output of 80 watts (range: 50\u2013100), and the mean ablation duration was 5.2 \u00b1 2.1 minutes. Follow-up imaging revealed an ablation zone diameter-to-tumor diameter ratio of 1.63 \u00b1 0.3. Major complications occurred in three patients (3.2%) and included liver abscess (n = 1\/92), hemorrhage (n = 1\/92), and pleural effusion (n = 1\/92). Minor complications were observed in 29 patients (31.5%). The median follow-up time of the patients was 33 (range 10\u201336) months. The median disease-free survival time was 25 months (95% confidence interval: 21\u201327). During the 24-month follow-up, local tumor progression occurred in 39 patients (42.4%). Tumor size was identified as an independent risk factor for local progression (p = 0.012).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study represents the longest follow-up duration and the largest patient cohort for the MWA treatment of liver tumors using anti-phase technology.
