Background & Aims Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) and ablative external beam
radiotherapy (ablative RT) are commonly used to treat small intrahepatic malignancies. We …

Introduction The comparative effectiveness of radiofrequency ablation (RFA), radiation
therapy (RT), transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) and transarterial radioembolization …

Background Recently randomized controlled trials have been advocated to compare
radiofrequency ablation (RFA) and hepatic resection (HR) in resectable tumours and …

Objective: This study determined whether the effect of combination therapy for hepatic
carcinoma (HCC) is comparable to surgical resection (SR). According to the guidelines of …

PURPOSE: Percutaneous radiofrequency (RF) ablation is a promising technique for the
treatment of hepatic malignancies. However, its cost-effectiveness has not been established …

Abstract Background and Aim We compared the clinical outcomes of radiofrequency
ablation (RFA) and stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) in small (≤ 3 cm) …

Background There is a continuing debate on whether transcatheter arterial
chemoembolization (TACE) plus radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is more effective than RFA …

Methods We searched databases for randomized trials assessing the efficacy of loco-
regional treatments for HCCs≤ 5 cm with no extrahepatic spread or portal invasion. The …

Introduction Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is a standard ablative modality for small liver
malignancies. Stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) has emerged although yet suffers a …

Potentially curative treatments for early‐stage hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) have
drawbacks and contraindications. Recently, radiotherapy has achieved good outcomes. We …
