    Colorectal liver metastases (CRLM) are primarily treated with resection, but thermal ablation is a viable alternative for ineligible patients.

  • 2

    Local tumor progression (LTP) rates after thermal ablation of CRLM range from 6% to 46%, complicating timely detection and treatment.

  • 3

    The study aimed to validate clinical-radiomics prediction models for LTP after thermal ablation using independent internal and external cohorts.

  • 4

    The combined clinical-radiomics model demonstrated the highest performance with a concordance statistic of 0.78 in predicting LTP.

    A multicenter retrospective study was conducted, adhering to strict inclusion and exclusion criteria to ensure comparable patient cohorts.
