Abstract

This study sought to evaluate the safety and efficacy of ultrasound-guided (US-guided) percutaneous microwave (MW) ablation combined with percutaneous ethanol injection (PEI) to treat liver tumours adjacent to the gallbladder. A total of 136 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) adjacent to the gallbladder, who underwent ultra-sonographically-guided percutaneous MW ablation, which was combined with PEI in 132 patients, were retrospectively assessed. The patient population characteristics, tumour features, local tumour progression and treatment were compared and analysed. The safety and efficacy of the therapy were assessed by clinical data and imaging in follow-up examinations. All patients were completely treated with two sessions; 120 patients underwent one session, 16 patients underwent two sessions. The primary technique was effective in 95.6% of the cases, according to the computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the one-month follow-up (132 of 138 sessions). PEI and other therapies were performed in the patients who had been incompletely treated (all six patients underwent PEI, and some underwent other therapies, including one transcatheter arterial chemoembolisation (TACE), one liver transpl...Continue Reading
