Stereotactic body radiation therapy vs. radiofrequency ablation in HCC: comparing noncomparable data
I read with great interest the article by Kim et al. recently published in the Journal of Hepatology.1 The authors aimed to compare the effectiveness of stereotactic-body radiation therapy (SBRT) and radiofrequency ablation (RFA) in a retrospective cohort of 2,064 patients.
