Hepatocellular carcinoma is one of the most common malignancies in the world, with the
liver being the second most frequently involved organ in metastatic disease. Although the …

INTRODUCTION: Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) has become widely accepted as an
important adjunct, and sometimes a viable alternative, to liver surgery. The aims of this study …

OBJECTIVES: The aim of this prospective study was to evaluate the feasibility of
radiofrequency ablation of hepatic tumors. We studied the rates of mortality, morbidity, and …

Radiofrequency Thermal Ablation (RFA) of liver tumors is done by percutaneous,
laparoscopic and open surgical approach. Selection criteria for percutaneous or open …

Despite the advances in surgical techniques and the improved results of resective liver
surgery, the large majority of patients with either primary or secondary liver malignancies are …

AIM: To investigate the common complications of thermal ablation of liver tumours using
both radiofrequency ablation (RFA) and microwave ablation (MWA) techniques, and to …

Radiofrequency thermal ablation has been accepted as a promising technique to treat
unresectable liver tumors. However, any interventional procedure should be performed only …

The liver is a common site for primary malignancy and hematogenous metastasis. Although
surgical resection of primary or metastatic hepatic tumors is generally regarded as first-line …

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the major malignancies worldwide. Due to
advanced or decompensated liver cirrhosis, comorbidity and multicentricity of the tumor …

Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of liver tumors was first proposed in 1990. New technologies
enable us to produce liver thermal lesions of approximately 3–3.5 cm in diameter; RFA has …
