Percutaneous Radiofrequency Ablation for the Hepatocellular Carcinoma Abutting the Diaphragm: Assessment of Safety and Therapeutic Efficacy
OBJECTIVE To assess the safety and therapeutic efficacy of a percutaneous radiofrequency (RF) ablation for the hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) abutting the diaphragm. MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively assessed 80 patients who underwent a percutaneous RF ablation for a single nodular (< 4 cm) HCC over the last four years. Each patient underwent an ultrasound-guided RF ablation using inte...
متن کاملTherapeutic Efficacy of Percutaneous Radiofrequency Ablation versus Microwave Ablation for Hepatocellular Carcinoma
The aim of this study was to investigate the therapeutic efficacy of percutaneous radiofrequency (RF) ablation versus microwave (MW) ablation for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) measuring ≤ 5 cm in greatest diameter. From January 2006 to December 2006, 78 patients had undergone RF ablation whereas 77 had undergone MW ablation. Complete ablation (CA), local tumour progression (LTP) and distant re...
متن کاملPercutaneous radiofrequency thermal ablation for hepatocellular carcinoma.
BACKGROUND Radiofrequency thermal ablation is the first therapeutic option in percutaneous treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma but data on its long-term efficacy and safety are not conclusive. AIM This study reports a prospective survey on radiofrequency thermal ablation in north-east Italy. METHODS Data were collected on 401 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (males 301, mean age: 68...
متن کاملPercutaneous Radiofrequency Ablation of Hepatocellular Carcinomas Adjacent to the Gallbladder with Internally Cooled Electrodes: Assessment of Safety and Therapeutic Efficacy
OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to evaluate the safety and therapeutic efficacy of percutaneous radiofrequency (RF) ablation for the treatment of hepatocellular carcinomas (HCCs) adjacent to the gallbladder with the use of internally cooled electrodes. MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively assessed 45 patients with 46 HCCs (mean size, 2.2 cm) adjacent to the gallbladder (<or=1.0 ...
متن کاملPercutaneous Radiofrequency Ablation of Hepatocellular Carcinoma against the Diaphragm: Is Artificial Ascites Necessary?
Purpose: To evaluate the utility of artificial ascites induction for radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of peridiaphragmatic hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) through retrospective cohort analysis comparing characteristics and complications of peridiaphragmatic HCC without the use of artificial ascites to non-peridiaphragmatic HCC. Materials and Methods: IRB approval was obtained. From September 2003 t...
