Cryoablation Provides Superior Local Control of Primary Hepatocellular Carcinomas of >2 cm Compared with Radiofrequency Ablation and Microwave Coagulation Therapy: An Underestimated Tool in the Toolbox

Background Although cryoablation (Cryo) has been advocated as an effective locoregional therapy for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), few studies have compared the outcomes with those of radiofrequency ablation (RFA) and microwave coagulation therapy (MCT). Methods Consecutive patients with primary HC...

Zusammenfassung:	Background Although cryoablation (Cryo) has been advocated as an effective locoregional therapy for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), few studies have compared the outcomes with those of radiofrequency ablation (RFA) and microwave coagulation therapy (MCT). Methods Consecutive patients with primary HCCs of 2 cm compared with RFA/MCT.
