Percutaneous Radiofrequency Ablation Versus Partial Hepatectomy for Small Centrally Located Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Background It is not known whether percutaneous radiofrequency ablation (PRFA) could get the same treatment efficacy and fewer complications as partial hepatectomy (PH) in patients with small centrally located hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The present study was designed to evaluate the efficacy of PH and PRFA in the treatment of small centrally located HCC.
