Abstract

Objectives: Radiofrequency ablation therapy (RFA) combined with transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) (combination therapy) is effective for intermediate hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The aim of this study was the long-term effects of combination therapy for intermediate HCC. Methods: A total of 42 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma treated with transarterial chemoembolization combined RFA. Results: The mean age was 63.6 year. The single tumor accounted for 17(40.5%). The cause hepatocellular carcinoma was hepatitis B, 36 patients (85.7%). For overall survival rate of the 42 patients who underwent transarterial chemoembolization combined with RFA were 8.261 years. Conclusion: The combination of TACE and RFA is a safe and effective therapy in patients with intermediate HCC.
