Abstract Background and Aim In patients with cirrhosis and small hepatocellular carcinoma
(HCC), thermal ablation is currently recognized as an effective local treatment. Among …

OBJECTIVES: Radiofrequency thermal ablation (RF) and percutaneous ethanol injection
(PEI) have been employed in the treatment of small hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) as …

In most patients with cirrhosis, successful percutaneous ablation or surgical resection of
hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is followed by recurrence. Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) …

For the treatment of small hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is
in some centers considered a first-line therapeutic option. However, such a strategy is still …

AIM: To evaluate survival and recurrence after radiofrequency ablation (RFA) for the
treatment of small hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) using a meta-analysis. METHODS …

Abstract Background and Aims: We evaluated the prognosis and associated factors in
patients with small hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC; up to 3 nodules, each up to 3cm in …

Objective This study was done to compare percutaneous laser ablation (PLA) and
radiofrequency thermoablation (RFA) for the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC)≤ …

BACKGROUND/AIMS: To assess the effectiveness and the safety of radio-frequency thermal
ablation (RFTA) in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC)≤ 5cm in compensated …

Purpose To evaluate the long-term outcomes of radiofrequency ablation (RFA) as a first-line
therapy for early-stage hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and determine the prognostic …
