Radiofrequency Ablation Using Dual Cooled-Wet Electrode for Small Hepatocellular Carcinoma With No-touch Technique: Preliminary Study

• Status: Unknown
• Phase: N/A
• Study type: Interventional
• Enrollment: 100 (estimated)
• Sponsor: Seoul National University Hospital · Academic / Other
• Sex: All
• Age: 20 Years – 85 Years
• Healthy volunteers: Not accepted

Summary

The purpose of this study is to prospectively compare the clinical outcomes (local tumor progression rate, technical success rate, complication rate) of no touch radiofrequency ablation (RFA) technique for Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) to those of conventional tumor puncture RFA technique.

Conditions

• Carcinoma, Hepatocellular

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
PROCEDURE	No-touch RFA arm	No-touch RFA arm indicates RFA procedure without direct tumor puncture. In this study, RFA is done by using dual cooled electrode.
PROCEDURE	Conventional tumor puncture RFA arm	Conventional tumor puncture RFA arm indicates RFA procedure using "conventional tumor puncture" technique. In this study, RFA is done by using dual cooled electrode.
