BACKGROUND It is usually difficult to adequately conduct percutaneous ultrasound-guided
radiofrequency (RF) ablation for hepatocellular carcinomas (HCCs) abutting the diaphragm …

Objective To assess the safety and therapeutic efficacy of a percutaneous radiofrequency
(RF) ablation for the hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) abutting the diaphragm. Materials and …

Purpose Radiofrequency ablation is a curative treatment option for very early-stage or early-
stage hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, percutaneous radiofrequency ablation …

Computed tomography-guided radiofrequency ablation (CT-RFA) and laparoscopic RFA (L-
RFA) have been used to treat intrahepatic recurrent small hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) …

Background Nodules of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) located in the hepatic dome cannot
be depicted on ultrasography because of pulmonary air. Therefore, percutaneous treatment …

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to determine the efficacy and safety of
radiofrequency (RF) ablation for the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in the …

Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is recommended as a first-line therapy for small
hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Tumor location is a potential factor influencing the …

Purpose To compare retrospectively the effects of percutaneous radiofrequency (RF)
ablation with those of hepatic resection in the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) …

AIM: To investigate the treatment strategies and long-term outcomes of radiofrequency
ablation (RFA) of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in difficult locations and to compare the …

Background: Various treatments for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) beneath the diaphragm
have been reported. Transpulmonary radiofrequency (TPRF) ablation for HCC beneath the …
