Core Tip	The combination of radiofrequency ablation (RFA) and sorafenib shows promise in treating liver cancer with portal hypertension. This approach demonstrated improved short- and long-term efficacy, with significant reduction in portal vein pressure and enhancement of liver function. Patients treated with this combination had higher survival rates compared to those receiving RFA alone. Moreover, the study identified key prognostic factors, such as Child-Pugh grade, tumor size, history of hepatitis, and the use of sorafenib, providing valuable insights for managing liver cancer complicated by portal hypertension. These findings suggest that the RFA and sorafenib combination could be a beneficial therapeutic strategy, but further research with larger sample sizes is warranted to validate these outcomes.
