Abstract

Objective To investigate the application and curative effect of radiofrequency ablation in the treatment of liver cancer. Methods From October 2010 to March 2014,26 cases with liver carcinoma were treated by radiofrequency ablation in our hospital. The CT imaging changes and survival rate of patients were comprehensive analyzed. Results The CT examination from 1 to 6 months showed the completed ablation rate of tumor was 56.03%after radiofrequency ablation. B-ultrasonic examination revealed that tumors and peripheral blood was reduced,disrupted or disappeared in 21 patients. The complication rate was high after treatment, but all patients have recovered without treatment or through medication rehabilitation. During follow-up for 19 patients,the 1-,2- and3-year survival rate was 78.94%,47.37% and 21.05%,respectively. Conclusion Radiofrequency ablation has more advantages in the treatment of liver cancer, such as safety, minimally invasive and good effect. So,it is a complementary alternative treatment for liver cancer.
