CONTEXTS: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common malignant diseases in the world. Because less than 20% of patients with HCC are resectable, various types of non-surgical treatment have been developed.
At present, radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is accepted as the standard local treatment for patients with HCC because of its superior local control and overall survival compared to other local treatments.
New devices for RFA and combination treatments of RFA with other procedures have been developed to improve anti-tumoral effects.
This review mainly focuses on the status of RFA in the management of HCC and recent advances in RFA treatment technology.
背景:肝细胞癌(HCC)是世界上最常见的恶性疾病之一。由于不到20%的HCC患者可进行手术切除,因此已开发出各种类型的非手术治疗方法。
目前,射频消融(RFA)因其与其他局部治疗相比具有更好的局部控制和总生存率,被公认为HCC患者的标准局部治疗方法。
已开发出用于RFA的新设备以及RFA与其他手术的联合治疗方法,以提高抗肿瘤效果。
本综述主要关注RFA在HCC治疗中的现状以及RFA治疗技术的最新进展。
