Abstract

ObjectivesThis study aimed to assess 3 year outcome of radiofequency ablation as a first-line therapy of early-stage hepatocellular carcinoma.  Methods: From August 2018 to August 2021. The medical records of 32 patients who underwent radiofequency ablation for single HCC. Patients were analyzed. Results: In the analysis of the entire cohort of 32 patients with early-stage. (Male: Female = 21:11, mean age, 51.2 years) follow-up period ranged from 1 to 3 years. The medium tumor size was 2.8 cm. Child-pugh class A and B were 58.8 and 5.9%. We assessed the 3 year follow-up results of survival rates. Corresponding overall survival rates after 1 year and 3 years were 100% and 90.6%, respectively. Conclusion: Three-year survical outcome after percutaneous radiofrequency ablation as a first-line therapy of hepatocellular carcinoma were favorable overall survival.
