ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the feasibility,safety and efficacy of laparoscopic radiofrequency ablation (RFA) therapy for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).Methods Sixty-eight cases of liver cancer lesions were underwent laparoscopic radiofrequency ablation,and their postoperative recovery state,focal necrosis rate were observed.Results All the 68 cases were successfully performed operation,114 lesions were treated including 20 missed lesions at preoperative imaging diagnosis.There were no serious postoperative complications,the average hospital stay was (2.5 ± 1.2) days,focal necrosis rate 3 months after operation was 85.9％,lesion recurrence rate 6 months after operation was 12.2％,the 1-year survival rate was 76.47％.Conclusions Laparoscopic radiofrequency ablation in treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma has high security,few complications,short hospital stay and remarkable clinical effects.It's well worth clinical outreach.
ABSTRACT
In recent years, radiofrequency-ablation with minimal invasive effect has been increasingly used in the treatment of lung cancer, outcoming with obvious achievement. Great progress has been made in the experimental research including creation of electrode needle, the radiofrequency technique and clinical applications. This article overviews the experimental research, clinical application, current status and future research directions of this new treatment modality.
