Transarterial Chemoembolization with Radiofrequency Ablation versus Surgical Resection for Small Late-Recurrence Hepatocellular …
Transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) combined with radiofrequency ablation (RFA) and surgical resection are two treatment approaches for managing small late-recurrence hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). TACE with RFA is a minimally invasive option that targets tumors by delivering chemotherapy directly and ablating them with heat, while surgical resection involves physically removing the tumor. The choice between these methods often depends on factors like tumor location, patient health, and recurrence characteristics. Comparative studies aim to evaluate which treatment offers better outcomes in terms of survival rates and quality of life for patients with HCC recurrence.
