Clinical control study of radio frequency ablation and operation on complications and survival rate of liver cancer
Objective To explore the complications and short-term survival rate of ultrasound-guided radio frequency ablation (RFA) in the treatment of liver cancer
and compare the results with conventional operation. Methods Totally 159 hepatocellular carcinoma patients were divided into 2 groups according to the diameter and number of their tumors. Among the 44 cases in the group of solo tumor with tumor diameter ≤4.0 cm
29 cases received operation and 15 received RFA treatment. For the 115 cases of the diameter4.0 cm or multiple tumors
54 cases received operation and 61 received RFA treatment. The operations were hepatolobectomy or irregular resection. There were 88 tumor masses receiving RFA treatment. The bundled needles were punctured into the center of the tumors and the treatment was performed multiply at different spots under the guidance of ultrasound. The complications and short-term survival rate and quality of living were evaluated by life quality score (Quick-FLIC) by correspondence or telephone interview. Differences between the above mentioned data of patients receiving operation and RFA treatment within the 2 groups were compared. Results There were lesser complications in the patients receiving RFA treatment than in those receiving operation. In the group of solo tumor with tumor diameter ≤4.0 cm
there was no significant difference in survival rate after 1 year and quality of living between patients receiving these 2 approaches. But in the group with tumor diameter4.0 cm or multiple tumors
the survival rate after 1 year was lower in patients receiving RFA treatment than in those receiving operation
but their quality of living was better. Conclusion For solo tumor with diameter ≤4.0 cm
RFA has similar survival rate after 1 year and lower complications rate
higher post-operation quality of living and promising long-term treatment effect in comparison to operation group. For multiple tumors or the tumors with diameter4.0 cm
the extension living time and elevation survival rate were better in palliative surgery operation than RFA treatment. However
RFA treatment has lower complications rate and higher postoperation quality of living.
