Long-term follow-up of unresectable medium-large hepatocellular carcinoma nodules treated with radiofrequency ablation using a using multiple-electrode switching system.

CONCLUSION:: RFA with a multiple-electrode switching system may be a safe, quick and effective therapeutic option for treatment of 3.1-6.0 cm unresectable HCC tumours.
ADVANCES IN KNOWLEDGE:: RFA with multiple electrodes provides favourable clinical results in patients with medium-large HCC nodules who are not suitable for surgery.
