RFA for Small HCC With No-touch Technique Using Octopus Electrode
Not Applicable
Completed
- Conditions
- Carcinoma, Hepatocellular
- Registration Number
- NCT02832882
- Lead Sponsor
- Seoul National University Hospital
- Brief Summary
In this study, the investigators are going to prospectively compare the clinical outcomes (technical success rate, 12 month local tumor progression rate, complication rate, tumor seeding rate) of Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) with octopus electrode and no-touch technique for Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) to those of RFA with conventional tumor puncture method with the same device.
