Risk factors for the recurrence of early hepatocellular carcinoma treated by percutaneous radiofrequency ablation with a multiple-electrode switching system: a multicenter prospective study
CONCLUSIONS: The MESS-RFA is an effective method for local control of tumors in early HCC. Early HCC with multiple high-ALP tumors has a higher rate of recurrence, which mainly occurs in an IDR pattern. Early HCC with high AFP levels and a shorter initial recurrence interval resulted in a poorer prognosis. Thus, treatments such as liver transplantation or surgical resection may be a good strategy in those cases.CLINICALTRIALS.GOV ID: NCT02046356.PMID:35042449 | DOI:10.1080/02656736.2021.2024279
