| Core Tip |
A systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted to determine whether combined transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) and radiofrequency ablation (RFA) improve overall and recurrence-free survival compared with RFA alone. Nine single-center randomized controlled trials were included, with a total of 618 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), 321 of whom (51.9%) received TACE/RFA and 297 received RFA alone. We found that combined TACE/RFA has a beneficial effect on survival and recurrence rates compared with RFA alone, especially for medium-sized (3-5 cm) HCC and among Chinese patients. |
