Core Tip	We read the recent article entitled” Hepatocellular carcinoma review: Current treatment, and evidence-based medicine” by Raza et al. (1), published in World Journal of Gastroenterology, with great interest. They evaluated treatment of early and advanced stage HCC based on extensive review of relevant literature. Authors reported that radiofrequency ablation (RF) is the most effective local ablative therapy. The authors concluded that RF ablation is equivalent to surgical resection in well selected patients in the early stage hepatocellular carcinoma. In addition, we want to mention microwave ablation beside RF ablation
