Abstract

Objective To evaluate the therapeutic effect and adverse effects of radio frequency ablation (RFA) and transcatheter arterial chemoembolization(TACE) for the treament of live cancer.Methods In this study, 30 patients underwent RFA and 35 patients underwent TACE.After treatment,the main symptoms,AFP level and live function were observed.Meanwhile,ultrasonography and CT scanning were performed.Results RFA; The complete ablation (CA) rate was 86.96% (20/23) in tumors less than 5 cm in diameter, and 20.59% (7/34) when tumors were larger than 5 cm,the partially or uncompletely ablation in tumors larger than 10 cm, signs of toxicity included pain during operation,nausea fever after operation,transaminase elevation and so on.TACE: lipiodol deposition 50% in part cases; signs of toxicity included fever, myelosuppression, gastrointestinal tract reaction.Conclusion Treating liver cancer by RFA and TACE is effective and safe, but great care should be taken.
