Introduction: Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is
considered a safe and minimally invasive procedure. We previously reported that the …

BACKGROUND: Surgical resection is the treatment of choice for hepatic tumors; however,
for various reasons, the vast majority of patients are not operative candidates. As a result …

Aims. To evaluate the outcome of patients who received radiofrequency ablation (RFA) at
open laparotomy in patients with irresectable liver malignancies. Methods. Twenty-six …

The purpose of this study was to determine radiological or physical factors to predict the risk
of residual mass or local recurrence of primary and secondary hepatic tumors treated by …

BACKGROUND Radiofrequency (RF)‐induced tissue coagulation represents a new
approach for the thermal destruction of tumors within the liver. The purpose of the current …

Radiofrequency thermal ablation has been accepted as a promising technique to treat
unresectable liver tumors. However, any interventional procedure should be performed only …

Aim To evaluate the incidence of adverse events and associated factors after radiofrequency
ablation (RFA) in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma within 30 days. Materials and …

Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is now increasingly used as a first-line therapeutic modality
for small malignant hepatic tumors in many parts of the world. The importance of radiological …

Aim: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) nodules close to the liver surface exhibit high
recurrence compared to those in distal parts of the liver. Moreover, when nodules remain …

Radiofrequency (RF) ablation is a new, promising, but unproven treatment for liver tumors. It
focuses high levels of electrical energy in one of the largest vital organs to heat and thereby …
