Ultrasound (US)-guided percutanoeus radiofrequency (RF) ablation is difficult to perform for
treating a hepatic tumor abutting the diaphragm due to a poor sonic window and high risk of …

Purpose: This study assessed the efficacy and safety of artificial ascites in assisting
ultrasound-guided percutaneous microwave (MW) ablation of hepatic tumours adjacent to …

Purpose To investigate the outcomes of radiofrequency ablation (RFA) following artificial
ascites (AA) and artificial pleural effusion (AP) creation for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) …

Purpose The recurrence after curative hepatectomy is common. Limited data have
investigated the effect of transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) combined with …

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the second leading cause of cancer death worldwide.
Curative treatments for early-stage HCC include local ablation, hepatic resection, and liver …

Background Intrapleural fluid infusion improves ultrasonographic visualization of tumours in
the hepatic dome. The aim of this study was to assess the safety and long-term efficacy of …

Aim To compare the long-term local control of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and risk of
peritoneal seeding via percutaneous radiofrequency ablation (RFA) using artificial ascites …

OBJECTIVE. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of percutaneous
radiofrequency ablation (RFA) for the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in the …

Thermal ablative techniques such as radiofrequency and microwave ablation are minimally
invasive and cost-effective approaches that are currently being adopted as alternatives to …

Objectives To compare the safety and efficacy of RFA for single HCCs≤ 3 cm in
subcapsular versus nonsubcapsular locations using a propensity score matched analysis …
