Effectivity and Safety of Ultrasound-guided Percutaneously Radiofrequency Ablation for Liver Cancer

July 26, 2018 updated by: First Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University
To evaluate the safety and efficacy of ultrasonography (US) -guided radiofrequency ablation for liver tumors, the investigators used preoperative and postoperative US/CEUS(contrast-enhanced ultrasonography)/CT/MRI to assess lesions, and laboratory tests including the tumor markers to evaluate the general condition of patients. Intraoperative US/CEUS/CT would be applied to monitor ablation lesions.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: RFA(radiofrequency ablation)
The investigators used percutaneously US-guided RFA(radiofrequency ablation) for small hepatocellular carcinoma,and estimated the safety and efficacy of this treatment through 2-year follow-up of US/CEUS/CT/MRI and the tumor markers.
Procedure: US-guided RFA
The investigators used percutaneously US-guided radiofrequency ablation for patients with small hepatocellular carcinoma,and estimated the safety and efficacy of this treatment through 2-year follow-up of US/CEUS/CT/MRI and the tumor markers.
