简要总结
RATIONALE: Radiofrequency ablation uses a high-frequency, electric current to kill tumor cells. CT-, MRI-, or ultrasound-guided radiofrequency ablation may be an effective treatment for liver cancer and cirrhosis.
PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well radiofrequency ablation works in treating patients with liver cancer and cirrhosis.
详细描述
OBJECTIVES:
Primary
- Determine the 18-month successful disease control rate, defined as no identifiable liver tumor by CT scan, in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma and cirrhosis treated with solitary or repetitive percutaneous radiofrequency ablation (RFA).
Secondary
- Correlate tumor size, MELD score, and the number of RFA treatments (solitary or repetitive) with the 18-month successful disease control rate in patients treated with this procedure.
- Determine the local and remote intrahepatic and extrahepatic tumor recurrence rates in patients treated with this procedure.
- Correlate local and remote intrahepatic and extrahepatic tumor recurrence rates with the 18-month successful disease control rate in patients treated with this procedure.
- Correlate tumor size with the local disease control rate in patients treated with this procedure.
- Correlate solitary or repetitive RFA with or without local/regional tumor control with the development of extrahepatic tumor in these patients.
- Determine the local tumor eradication rate, as determined by examination of whole liver specimens or CT scan, in patients treated with this procedure.
