| Core Tip |
There is limited data comparing multibipolar radiofrequency ablation (mbp-RFA) and microwave ablation (MWA) for treating hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). This study analyzed 362 patients with newly diagnosed HCC who underwent either mbp-RFA (242 patients, 323 tumors) or MWA (120 patients, 168 tumors). Results showed that mbp-RFA provided better local tumor control, with a lower local tumor progression rate (11.4% vs 25.2%) and a higher complete ablation rate (94.1% vs 87.5%) compared to MWA. The advantage of mbp-RFA was particularly significant for tumors larger than 3 cm, where MWA had a local tumor progression rate of 60.9% vs 21.6% with mbp-RFA. Despite these differences in efficacy, both techniques had similar major complication rates (9.5% vs 7.5%). These findings suggest that mbp-RFA is a more effective option for larger, treatment-naïve HCC tumors while maintaining a comparable safety profile. |
