Abstract:
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a malignant tumor with high incidence and mortality rates around the world.Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is an effective therapy for HCC,especially in patients who experience recurrence after surgery for liver cancer,who are complicated by liver dysfunction and unable to undergo surgical resection,and who have multiple liver tumors and undergo palliative treatment.RFA can significantly improve patients' survival time and quality of life.This article reviews the mechanism of RFA in the treatment of HCC from the aspects of direct and indirect injuries and helps to further understand the role of RFA in local and systemic treatment of HCC,which has a potential value for multidisciplinary treatment of HCC in future.
