This book provides a comprehensive guide to the treatment of small
hepatocellular carcinoma (sHCC) using a minimally invasive
technique: radiofrequency ablation (RFA). RFA has emerged as a new
treatment modality and become the main modality of locoregional
therapy. Extensive clinical research indicates that RFA is as
effective as surgical resection for sHCC, and it has the advantage
of being less invasive. However, the outcomes after RFA are largely
dependent on the operators' experience- known as the "learning
curve". This book presents the characteristics of sHCC and
discusses why sHCC is the best candidate for RFA. Then it
introduces all the commercially available RFA systems, and their
working principles, advantages, disadvantages and so on. It goes on
to demonstrate how to perform RFA under the guidance of ultrasound,
CT, laparoscopy, or during open operation. Finally, it discusses
the radiologic assessment and follow-up after RFA, as well as
adjuvant therapies and clinical trials on RFA. The authors are
experts from the fields of pathology, radiology, surgery, and
gastroenterology, as well as manufacturers. With this book, readers
gain have a clear idea of when and how to do RFA. It aims to
standardize and generalize the procedure of RFA, which will be very
helpful in improving the outcome of RFA for sHCC.
