Abstract:
Objective To investigate the safety and efficacy of ultrasound-guided thermal ablation in the treatment of rare liver tumors.Methods Clinical data of 9 patients with rare liver tumors who underwent ultrasound-guided thermal ablation from January 2012 to December 2016 in the Third Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University were retrospectively analyzed.The informed consents of all patients were obtained and the local ethical committee approval was received.Among 9 cases (14 lesions),2 patients were male and 7 female,aged (42±12) years on average.All the patients underwent ultrasound or contrast-enhanced ultrasound-guided puncture and thermal ablation of the tumors.The ablation effect was evaluated immediately by contrast-enhanced ultrasound during the operation.The incidence of postoperative complications was observed.The complete ablation rate was evaluated by CT or MRI at postoperative 1 month.Results 11 lesions were treated with common ultrasound-guided thermal ablation and 3 lesions with contrast-enhanced ultrasound-guided ablation.The intraoperative complete ablation rate was 100％ (14/14),and the rate at postoperative 1 month was also 100％ (14/14).No ablation related complications was observed.During the follow-up,no local tumor progression or intrahepatic and extrahepatic tumors recurrence was observed in all patients.Conclusions For rare liver tumors,ultrasound-guided thermal ablation can achieve the effect of complete ablation,providing a new therapeutic option for the patients.
