The Research on Standard Treatments of Very-early Stage Hepatocellular Carcinoma: a Randomized Clinical Trial

The aim of our study was to elucidate the difference in the rates of complication, hospitalization days, medical expenses, MRI showed that the degree of tumor necrosis, and overall survival rates of the therapies between PEI, MVA and RFA, and make the standard for minimally invasive treatment of very early stage HCC.
