Results: Evaluation of the response one month later using triphasic CT showed significant better responses in GII compared to GI (83.3% vs 60%) with P value <0.05. The response 3 months later was not changed significantly compared to the response after one month of the procedure (56.7% in GI and 80% in GII) Conclusion: Ablation of inoperable large HCC 5.1-7cm can be done with combined techniques. RFA plus acetic acid was compared to RFA plus ethyl alcohol. Complete ablation was superior when acetic acid was used.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
