Radiofrequency ablation: a new therapeutic modality for the management of hepatocellular cancer
Abstract
We report two patients of hepatocellular cancer who recently underwent radiofrequency ablation at our center. Both underwent successful ablation of the tumour requiring 1-2 sessions of upto 15 minutes. There were no post procedure complications. One of the patients had developed another lesion after 10 months of follow up and underwent another session of RFA, while the second patient is doing well after one year of the procedure.
