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.
