Percutaneous Sonographically Guided Saline-Enhanced Radiofrequency Ablation of Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Abstract

Our experience suggests that percutaneous radiofrequency ablation of hepatocellular carcinoma with high frequency-induced thermotherapy is safe and effective in the treatment of hepatocellular carcinomas equal to or smaller than 3 cm, fairly effective for hepatocellular carcinomas between 3 and 5 cm, and ineffective for tumors larger than 5 cm.
