Abstract: Objective To study the value of microwave coagulation therapy for liver malignant tumors.Methods Under local anesthesia,19 cases with hepatic malignant tumors treated with microwave knife under CT-guided.Results There were totally 23 tumors in 19 cases,13 tumors with≤3.5 cm in diameters were destroyed absolutely after the first treatmet,10 tumors among them were followed-up for 6-12 months and no recurred.10 tumors with＞3.5 cm in diameters treated at multiple points or angle,3～6 months later,CT showed that the tumors were destroyed completely in 6 and mostly in 4,by the hot condensate treatment secondly,3 tumors of 4 were destroyed completely 3 months later.There were no obvious complications.Conclusion The therapeutic effect under CT-guided microwave coagulation therapy for liver tumor which are ≤3.5 cm in diameter of the tumors is very reliable,the tumors＞3.5 cm in diameter can be destroyed mostly or completely by microwave treatment.
