Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the short-term effectiveness of microwave ablation for early-stage hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) at Military Hospital 175. Subject and methods: A prospective, uncontrolled clinical intervention trial on 13 patients diagnosed with early-stage HCC from April 2022 to June 2024 at Military Hospital 175. Results: The mean age of the patients was 58.7 ± 8.0, the male/female ratio was 3.3/1, hepatitis B virus (HBV) was the main cause of the disease. The rate of complete tumor destruction after the first microwave ablation was 62%. The tumor size after ablation increased compared to before ablation (40.1mm vs. 26.8mm) with statistical significance (p < 0.05). The complete response rate at 1-month was 61.5% and increased at 3-month (69.2%).
