Conclusion
La RF est une technique relativement récente avec un développement actuel exponentiel. La RF a démontré un taux de contrôle local élevé avec cependant des reculs courts, mais aucune notion d'augmentation de survie n'est à ce jour disponible. Les indications de cette technique ne sont pas totalement établies en raison de la jeunesse de la technique d'une part, et des évolutions régulières de celle-ci d'autre part. Il est nécessaire de tenter de traiter les patients dans des protocoles d'évaluation afin de déterminer rapidement la place de cette technique par rapport au reste de l'arsenal thérapeutique.
