Objectives

Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is widely performed for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, there has been no report on 10-year outcome of RFA. The objective of this study was to report a 10-year consecutive case series at a tertiary referral center.

Methods

We performed 2,982 RFA treatments on 1,170 primary HCC patients and analyzed a collected database.
