Abstract: Objective To evaluate the therapeutic effcacy with CT-guided percutaneous radiofrequency ablation(RFA)for the liver tumor.Methods 60 cases of patients with a total of 73 lesions were treated with radio-frequency ablation.The diameter of the lesions was 1.4～7.0cm.with a mean diameter of 4.2cm.The therapeutic efficacy was evaluated with enhanced CT scanning and AFP.Results 45 patients of 60 cases with lesions were full damaged,no blood flow Was found on enhanced CT scans.39 patients with significantly increased blood-AFP before treatment were decreased significantly after treatment,Complications occured in 11 patients,including refractory hiccup (n=2),epidermal scald(n=3),intrahepatic hemorrhage(n=2)and hepatic abscess(n=1).Conclusion The radiofrequency ablation was simple and effective treatment of liver tumor.The effect could be similar to that of surgical resection.
