Efficacy of transcatheter arterial chemoembolization combined with radiofrequency ablation versus combined with microwave ablation in the treatment of primary hepatocellular carcinoma
Objective To compare the efficacy and safety of radiofrequency ablation( RFA) combined with transcatheter arterial chemoembolization( TACE) and microwave ablation( MWA) combined with TACE for the treatment of primary hepatocellular carcinoma( PHC). Methods Retrospective analysis was carried out on the clinical data of 97 patients with PHC accorded with inclusion criteria who underwent RFA combined with TACE( RFA plus TACE group,n = 42) or MWA combined with TACE( MWA plus TACE group,n = 55) from January 2008...
