Abstract:
Objective To study the effectiveness of microwave ablation in treating HCC.Methods A total of 98 nodules in 56 cases of HCC were treated via appropriate puncture approach ac-cording to the volume, amount and site of tumor nodules. Results Only 1 patient failed to finish treatment since he could not suffer the pain. The other 55 patients finished without a hitch. Clinical and imaging findings were analyzed for change of physiology. Conclusion The microwave ablation is effective for the treatment of HCC. Such therapy can be important supplement of direct surgical man-agement. Its effect mainly depends on accurate puncture approach and enough diametric range. Mean-while, reasonable puncturing method should be selected.
