Objective To investigate the effectiveness of TACE in combination with percutaneous microwave coagulation therapy(PMCT) in treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma.Methods 82 cases of hepatocellular carcinoma confirmed by pathology were randomly divided into 2 groups by odd or even hospitalization number.A total of 40 patients were enrolled in the TACE only group(group A) and 42 patients were enrolled in the synthetic therapy group(group B,underwent treatment by TACE in combination with PMCT).Results The survival rates in 1,2 and 3 years were 70%,54% and 20%,respectively,with a median survival of 1.72 years in group A,and 88%,76% and 51%,respectively,with a median survival of 2.1 years in group B.The survival rates in group B were significantly higher than that in group A(P
