Tumoral response factors after radiofrequency ablation of hepatocellular carcinoma in cirrhotic liver

Radiofrequency Ablation of Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Radiofrequency ablation device assisted liver resection for hepatocellular carcinoma.

UNLABELLED The present study aim was to evaluate radiofrequency (RF)-assisted liver resection for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). PATIENTS AND METHODS 35 consecutive patients were enrolled in this study. A Habib®4X RF ablation device (RFAD) was used for liver resection. The patients were divided into two groups: in group A (45.7%; n=16) liver resection was performed using the RFD, whereas in ...

Surgically treated diaphragmatic perforation after radiofrequency ablation for hepatocellular carcinoma

We review 6 cases of diaphragmatic perforation, with and without herniation, treated in our institution. All patients with diaphragmatic perforation underwent radiofrequency ablation (RFA) treatments for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) performed at Kurume University Hospital and Tobata Kyoritsu Hospital. We investigated the clinical profiles of the 6 patients between January 2003 and December 20...

Drop metastasis from hepatocellular carcinoma after percutaneous radiofrequency ablation therapy

For treating hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), radiofrequency ablation (RFA), a nonsurgical locoregional therapy, is frequently chosen as the first treatment modality because it is effective and less invasive, with preservation of the remnant hepatic parenchyma. Tumor implantation along needle tract or on other sites is a rare complication of RFA. We present a patient with HCC who developed a dro...

[Therapeutic clinical effect of radiofrequency ablation for small hepatocellular carcinoma in cirrhotic patients: a meta-analysis].

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the value of radiofrequency ablation in the treatment of small hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). METHODS MEDLINE (1966 - 2008), EMBASE (1966 - 2008), CBMdisc (1978 - 2008) were searched. The Cochrane Library, Evidence Base Medicine Reviews (Ovid Edition), Cancerlit (1993 - 2008) and so on, date of last search: 30 January 2008. There were no restrictions in language. Random...
