Abstract

Background and aims: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common malignant diseases with many treatment options available. Our aims are to evaluate the efficacy, safety and identify factors associated with the efficacy of radiofrequency ablation (RFA) in HCC. Results: There were 67 tumors in 58 patients treated with percutaneous RFA. The average tumor diameter was 31.2± 7.4mm. The rate of complete treatment response after 3 months of treatment accounted for 95.5% and after 6 months was 91.0%. Tumors larger than 30mm require a combination of TACE and RFA in the treatment of HCC patients. Conclusion: RFA is a relatively safe and effective treatment for HCC patients.
