Core Tip	Survival is prolonged by laparoscopic surgery in patients with liver cancer. However, the safe range of tumor boundaries is poorly defined and damage to adjacent normal structures can affect liver and immune functions. Our study demonstrated that the short-term efficacy and safety of medical image-guided microwave ablation is similar to laparoscopic surgery in the treatment of liver cancer, but the liver function recovered quickly after microwave ablation, which could enhance immune function.
