Heat Shock Protein70Expression and T Cell Activity Following Radiofrequency Ablation Combined with Transcatheter Arterial Embolization for Rabbit VX2Hepatic Tumor
Purpose:To investigate the effect and histopathologic characteristics of radiofrequency ablation (RFA) combined with transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) and RFA combined with transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE) for rabbit VX2hepatic tumors.
Materials and Methods:Twenty four Japanese White rabbits with VX2hepatic tumors were randomly divided into four treatment groups:TACE+RFA, RFA followed15min later by TACE (n=6); TAE+RFA, RFA followed15min later by transcatheter arterial embolization...
