Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Age 18-80 years, regardless of gender;
  2. Histopathologically confirmed or clinically diagnosed hepatic malignancies, including primary liver cancer and metastatic liver cancer;
  3. Presence of an image-evaluable target lesion for ablation, with the maximum diameter of the target lesion being 3-5 cm;
  4. Patient is intolerant to or refuses surgical resection;
  5. ECOG performance status score ≤ 2, with an expected survival period of greater than 3 months.

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Liver function classified as Child-Pugh C, unimprovable with hepatoprotective therapy;
  2. Massive or diffuse hepatocellular carcinoma;
  3. Presence of vascular tumor thrombus or invasion of adjacent organs;
  4. History of esophageal (gastric fundus) variceal rupture and bleeding within 1 month prior to treatment;
  5. Uncorrectable coagulation dysfunction and severe hematological abnormalities, with a high risk of severe bleeding;
  6. Refractory massive ascites, cachexia;
  7. Active infection, especially inflammatory conditions of the biliary system;
  8. Severe functional failure of major organs such as liver, kidney, heart, lung, and brain;
  9. Impaired consciousness, or inability to cooperate with treatment;
  10. Previous systemic treatments (e.g., chemotherapy) with an interval of less than 2 weeks and not having recovered from prior treatment: CTCAE 6.0 grade >1 (except for alopecia);
  11. Any other factors deemed by the investigator to make the subject unsuitable for participation or to affect the subject's involvement in the study.
