Abstract:
Liver cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors in China. Surgical resection is still the preferred radical treatment method for patients with liver cancer; however, most patients cannot tolerate surgical resection due to the influence of tumor size, tumor location, liver function, and general condition. In recent years, local ablation techniques, such as radiofrequency ablation and microwave ablation, have developed rapidly and are widely used in clinical practice, and they are even known as new techniques comparable to surgical resection for the radical treatment of liver cancer. This article briefly introduces the application and selection of local ablation and surgical resection in the treatment of liver cancer.
