Evaluating the initial results of percutaneous radiofrequency ablation of hepatocellular carcinoma at radiology department, bach mai hospital
Main Article Content
Abstract
SUMMARY
Objective: To describe techniques and early outcomes of RFA in treating HCC patients at Radiology Department, Bach Mai Hospital.
Method and results: from 1/2012 to 9/2014 on 52 patients with 67 times RFA for 62 HCC tumors. male/female=45/7, average age = 57.8 (40-78), commonest tumor size is ≤ 3cm
(80.6%), majority of the patients had cirhociss (96.2%), Child A (96%) and infected with HBV (86.5%). Ultrasound imaged guide were performed on 97% and single needles 30 was used 73.1%. RFA alone techniques and RFA combine artificial pleural effusion and/or artificial ascites was performed on 82,1% & 16.4%. Postintervention status was stable, we had one case (1.5%) with peritoneal effusion; recurrence appeared in two cases (3.2%) two
cases (3.8%) had new nodules.
Conclusion: RFA in HCC management is safe and effective at the Radiology Department at Bach Mai Hospital.
