Fig. 2. Background data. General background data of thermal ablation is schematized. Ablation index tumor (AIT) number per patient, age and sex distribution, mean values of R-L (right-to-left), A-P (anterior-to-posterior), and C-C (cranial-to-caudal) dimensions of lesions are shown with the largest diameter measured within parenthesis, alongside patients’ distribution with any lesion larger than 30 mm in diameter. MWA, microwave ablation; RFA, radiofrequency ablation; M/F, male/female; LTP, local tumor progression. *Mean diameters are given with standard deviation. Values within parenthesis are maximum diameters.
