World J Gastrointest Surg 2023; 15:9-18. [PMID: 36741068 PMCID: PMC9896493 DOI: 10.4240/wjgs.v15.i1.9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/20/2022] [Revised: 11/20/2022] [Accepted: 12/21/2022] [Indexed: 01/17/2023] Open
Abstract
The post-hepatectomy recurrence rate of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is persistently high, affecting the prognosis of patients. An effective therapeutic option is crucial for achieving long-term survival in patients with postoperative recurrences. Local ablative therapy has been established as a treatment option for resectable and unresectable HCCs, and it is also a feasible approach for recurrent HCC (RHCC) due to less trauma, shorter operation times, fewer complications, and faster recovery. This review focused on ablation techniques, description of potential candidates, and therapeutic and prognostic implications of ablation for guiding its application in treating intrahepatic RHCC.

Fusion imaging-guided radiofrequency ablation for residual hepatocellular carcinoma invisible on ultrasound after transcatheter arterial chemoembolization. Int J Hyperthermia 2021; 38:1092-1098. [PMID: 34296656 DOI: 10.1080/02656736.2021.1943545] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 12/24/2022] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE This study aimed to investigate the technical efficiency and therapeutic response of fusion imaging (considered as virtual navigation) between contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) and contrast-enhanced computed tomography/magnetic resonance imaging (CECT/CEMRI) for the guidance of radiofrequency ablation (RFA) in patients with residual hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) after transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE). METHODS For this prospective study, 98 patients with residual HCC lesions after TACE treatment were enrolled between June 2017 and December 2020. All the lesions were invisible on conventional ultrasound scans. Percutaneous RFA was performed using either CEUS (CEUS group, 52 lesions) or virtual navigation (VN group, 46 lesions) guidance. The lesion display rate, disease-free survival rate, local recurrence rate, overall survival rate and complication incidence were calculated and compared. RESULTS Fusion imaging had a significant impact on the RFA outcomes (hazard ratio, 2.629; 95% confidence interval, 1.256-5.505; p = .01). The median disease-free survival time of the VN group was significantly higher than that of the CEUS group (10.9 vs. 8.8 months; p = .007). The local recurrence rates after 3, 6 and 12 months in the VN group were significantly lower than those in the CEUS group (p = .014, .002 and .011). The minor complication rate was not significantly different between the two groups. CONCLUSIONS CEUS-CECT/CEMRI fusion imaging for guiding RFA enables an efficient and useful therapy of inconspicuous HCC lesions after TACE. The novel solution prolongs the disease-free survival time and reduces the long-term local recurrence of residual lesions treated when using virtual-navigation (VN)-guided RFA.
