Core Tip	Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a common neoplasia with high morbidity and mortality. Nowadays, technologic progress has led to several diagnostic and therapeutic challenges regarding HCC, including the optimal use of percutaneous ablation methods, defining their indications and assessing the survival impact. Both radiofrequency and microwave ablation are widely used with their respective advantages and may both offer palliation or cure in the context of a multifaceted treatment approach.
