Abstract:
Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is one of the most important methods for the treatment of liver cancer and has the advantages of small trauma,simple operation,and repeatability.However,for tumors in high-risk locations within 5 mm of the first and second branches of the hepatic portal vein,near the hepatic vein,the inferior vena cava,or the gallbladder,within 5 mm of the intestinal tract,under the Glisson's capsule,and in the diaphragm,RFA has the issues of a low complete ablation rate,a high local recurrence rate,and serious complications.This article introduces the complications of RFA for liver cancer in high-risk locations and their prevention and points out that with the promotion of individualized and standardized RFA,liver cancer in these high-risk locations is no longer a contradiction for RFA.
