Abstract:
The technique of Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) has been widely applied as alternative treatment for non resectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and has equivalent efficacy in prognosis.However,because of the restriction of current heat ablation technique and tumor's special location in liver,it is difficult for some physicians to obtain the ideal of one-off complete ablation.Therefore,incomplete destruction of tumor and multiple ablation processes resulted in miserable consequence in prognosis.So,to achieve one-off complete ablation,it is essential to evaluate the anatomy location of the tumor before RFA procedure and to establish the specified approach and adjuvant method.This article is to systematically analyze the theoretical hypothesis of this technique and to explore possible strategy for a safe approach based on characteristics of liver anatomy and combined with the professional advantages of hepatobiliary surgery.
