Radiofrequency Ablation vs. Surgical Resection for Small Early-Stage Primary Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma

Conclusion: Our results indicated that the SR provided a significantly better prognosis than RFA in patients with small and early-stage ICC. SR as the first-line treatment of primary early-stage ICC is still recommended. However, prospective randomized controlled trials with larger sample sizes are required to compare these modalities in the treatment of ICC.
