Cancers (Basel). 2023 Jun 26;15(13):3347. doi: 10.3390/cancers15133347.

Abstract

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is responsible for 90% of primary hepatic cancer cases, and its incidence with associated morbidity and mortality is growing worldwide. In recent decades, there has been a revolution in HCC treatment. There are three main types of locoregional therapy: radiofrequency ablation, transarterial chemoembolisation, and transarterial radioembolisation. This article summarises recent advances in locoregional methods.

Keywords: hepatocellular carcinoma; liver neoplasms; radiofrequency ablation.
