TL;DR
The efficacy of combining transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) with subsequent percutaneous microwave coagulation therapy (PMCT) was assessed in this study.
Abstract
This combined therapy of PMCT applied within 1-2 days of TACE effectively treated HCCs measuring > 2.0 cm but </= 3.0 cm in greatest dimension. A small number of microwave electrode insertions and microwave irradiations were used.

RNAi-mediated sCLU gene silencing with short interference RNA may provide a novel therapeutic strategy in the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), which may be mediated by the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway.

Reduction of blood flow during RF application increases coagulation in both an animal model and human liver metastases and reduces coagulated necrosis achievable with RF ablation.

To determine the effect of radiofrequency ablation treatment time and tissue blood flow on the size and shape of the resulting necrotic lesion in porcine liver in vivo, a basic understanding of factors that influence RFA lesion size in vivo is critical to the success of this treatment modality.

HAE performed with the iodized oil only was well tolerated by the liver, even when high doses were used, likely because of continuous flushing of the sinusoids by high blood flow from peripheral arterioles.

It is concluded that bile duct necrosis or biloma was not uncommon in cirrhotic livers with HCC after TAE or HAI, and that TAE and HAI might cause the reduction of the inner layer vessels of PBP which may be necessary but was insufficient for the induction of bileduct necrosisor biloma.

The selection of PEIT or PMCT to treat patients with HCC should be based on tumor size and cell differentiation, and tumor size did so in the PEIT group and PMCT group.

Reduced vascularization of tumours could be demonstrated after embolization and in a few animals even decrease in tumour size, while no ischemic injury was evident in livers of most non-embolized animals.

It is thought that the curative resection should be intended for small HCC if the patient has enough hepatic reserve to undertake a curative operation.
