Abstract
Microwave ablation (MWA) is a promising minimally invasive therapy for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, the efficiency of MWA in treating HCC is evidently limited by the incomplete ablation of large tumors and tumors in high-risk locations. Here we designed an iron-based metal-organic framework nanomedicine (PFP-Apa-MOF) by loading perfluoropentane (PFP) and apatinib (Apa). After being absorbed by HCC, iron could induce ferroptosis. PFP could be activated into bubbles and act as an ultrasound agent for detecting the ablation margin. As an effective antiangiogenic drug, Apa could inhibit tumor residual growth after MWA. The high efficiency of PFP-Apa-MOF was fully demonstrated in vitro and in vivo. The results showed that MWA combined with PFP-Apa-MOF clearly enhanced the ablation efficiency, leading to apparent tumor inhibition, and increased tumor apoptosis and lipid peroxide. PFP-Apa-MOF could play a valuable role in enhancing MWA to achieve better therapeutic efficacy in HCC.

A study of the causes and classification of local tumour progression. Eur Radiol 2022; 32:8518-8526. [PMID: 35704110 DOI: 10.1007/s00330-022-08913-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/28/2021] [Revised: 05/26/2022] [Accepted: 05/30/2022] [Indexed: 11/30/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Local tumour progression (LTP) is believed to be a negative consequence of imperfect thermal ablation, but we wondered if all LTP is truly due to imperfect ablation. METHODS This study included 185 LTPs occurring within 1 cm of the ablation zone (AZ) after clinical curative thermal ablation for ≤ 5 cm hepatocellular carcinoma between 2010 and 2019. The AZ was divided into 8 quadrants by coronal, sagittal, and horizontal planes. Two methods, visual assessment through pre- and post-MRI (VA) and tumour mapping for 3D visualisation pre- and post-MRI fusion (MF), were used to assess which AZ quadrant included the shortest ablation margin (AM) by three doctors. LTP subclassification was based on whether LTP contacted the AZ margin (contacted LTP and dissociated-type LTP) and occurrence at different time points (12, 18, and 24 months). RESULTS Fleiss's Kappa of VA and MF was 0.769 and 0.886, respectively. Cohen's Kappa coefficient between VA and MF was 0.830. For all LTPs, 98/185 (53.0%) occurred in the shortest AM quadrant, which showed a significant central tendency (p < 0.001). However, only 8/51 (15.7%) dissociated - type LTPs and 6/39 (15.4%) LTPs after 24 months occurred in the shortest AM quadrant, which showed no evenly distributed difference (p = 0.360 and 0.303). CONCLUSIONS MF is an accurate and convenient method to assess the shortest AM quadrant. LTP is a central tendency in the shortest AM quadrant, but dissociated-type and LTPs after 24 months are not, and these LTP types could be considered nonablation-related LTPs. KEY POINTS • LTPs are not evenly distributed around the AZ. More than half of LTPs occur in the shortest AM quadrant. • Subgroup analysis showed that the occurrence of contacted-type LTPs (tumour margin has direct contact with the AZ) within 24 months after ablation indeed had a high proportion in the shortest AM quadrant, and they could be called ablation-related LTPs. • However, the dissociated-type LTPs (tumour margin adjacent to but not in contact with the AZ) or LTPs occurring beyond 24 months after ablation were evenly distributed around the AZ, and they could be called nonablation-related LTPs.

Abdom Radiol (NY) 2021; 46:2865-2874. [PMID: 33484284 DOI: 10.1007/s00261-020-02909-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/23/2020] [Revised: 12/09/2020] [Accepted: 12/11/2020] [Indexed: 01/16/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE To assess the feasibility of ablation planning based on fusion imaging of three-dimensional ultrasound/contrast-enhanced ultrasound (3D US/CEUS) with real-time US/CEUS for liver tumor thermal ablation. MATERIALS AND METHODS Between January 2017 and December 2018, 85 hepatic tumors from 82 patients who underwent percutaneous ablation were included. First, intraprocedural 3D US/CEUS imaging was performed for ablation planning. Then, fusion imaging of 3D US/CEUS with real-time US/CEUS was used to guide the implementation of the plan, immediately evaluate the technical success and indicate the need for supplemental ablation. In addition, contrast-enhanced CT/MR imaging was performed 1 month after the procedure to evaluate the presence of residual tumors, and follow-up scans were repeated every 3 months. RESULTS The average liver tumor diameter was 28 ± 9 mm (range, 10-55 mm). 3D US/CEUS-based planning was successfully conducted in all 85 tumors with a 100% technical success rate of planning. The immediate evaluation by 3D CEUS/US-CEUS fusion imaging showed a 100% technical success rate of ablation. The 1-month CT/MR scans found a residual tumor in one intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma patient; the technique efficacy rate was 98.8%. The median follow-up period was 21.5 months (IQR: 4-36 months). During the follow-up period, the local tumor progression rate was 5.9% (5/84), and no major procedure-related complications occurred. CONCLUSIONS Ablation planning based on 3D US/CEUS-US/CEUS fusion imaging is feasible for liver tumors.

Abstract
Purpose To compare the therapeutic outcomes between open surgical resection (OSR) and percutaneous microwave ablation (PMWA) for colorectal liver metastasis (CRLM) ≤3 cm. Methods In this retrospective study, 200 consecutive patients with 306 CRLMs were reviewed. Overall survival (OS), disease-free survival (DFS), local tumour progression (LTP), intrahepatic distant recurrence, and extrahepatic metastasis were analysed to compare the therapeutic efficacy. Cox proportional hazards regression analysis was used to identify the prognostic factors for OS and DFS. Major complications and postoperative hospital stay were also assessed. Result The 1-, 3-, and 5-year OS rates were 91.6%, 64.1%, and 46.3%, respectively, in the PMWA group and 89.7%, 62.4% and 44.7%, respectively, in the OSR group (P=0.839). The 1-, 3-, and 5-year DFS rates were 61.9%, 44.8%, and 41.3%, respectively, in the PMWA group and 58.1%, 24.4%, and 18.3%, respectively, in the OSR group (P =0.066). The two groups had comparable 5-year cumulative rates of intrahepatic distant recurrence (P=0.627) and extrahepatic metastasis (P=0.884). The 5-year cumulative LTP rate was lower in the OSR group than in the PMWA group (P=0.023). The rate of major complications was higher in the OSR group than in the PMWA group (P =0.025), and the length of hospital stay after treatment was shorter in the PMWA group (P<0.001). Conclusion There were no significant differences in OS or DFS between the two groups. PMWA was associated with increased LTP, fewer postoperative days and fewer major complications.

Abstract
Aim To explore whether ablation safety could be improved by ultrasound (US)-magnetic resonance (MR) fusion imaging for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) proximal to the hilar bile ducts (HBDs) through a preliminary comparative study. Methods Between January 2014 and June 2019, 18 HCC nodules proximal to the HBDs were included in a US-MR fusion imaging-assisted radiofrequency ablation (RFA) group (study group), while 13 HCC nodules in a similar location were included as a control group. For the study group, the tumor and adjacent bile ducts were outlined on preprocedural MR images. Procedural ablation planning was conducted to assess the feasibility of ablating the tumors while avoiding biliary injury. Such tumors were then ablated under US-MR fusion imaging guidance. The control group nodules were ablated under conventional ultrasound guidance. Baseline characteristics and outcomes were compared between the groups. Results After preprocedural assessment, 14 of 18 patients with tumors that were feasible to ablate underwent US-MR fusion imaging-assisted RFA. No biliary complications were observed in these 14 patients; the complication rate was significantly lower in the study group than in the control group (30.8%, 4/13) (P = 0.041). There was no significant difference in the technique efficacy rates [92.9% (13/14) versus 100% (13/13), P = 1] or local progression rates [7.1% (1/14) versus 7.7% (1/13), P = 1] between the study and control groups. Conclusions US-MR fusion imaging may be a non-invasive means for assisting RFA of HCC nodules proximal to the HBDs and ensuring ablation safety.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of ultrasound-guided percutaneous microwave ablation (MWA) for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) adjacent to large vessels with those far from large vessels. METHODS The clinical data of patients who underwent ultrasound-guided percutaneous MWA for HCC were retrospectively analyzed between January 2011 and December 2018 in Shengjing Hospital. Patients with HCC adjacent to large vessels were included in the Vessel group, the remaining patients were included in the Control group. Propensity score matching analysis was used to reduce confounding bias. The rates of complete ablation, local recurrence, recurrence-free survival (RFS), overall survival (OS) and complications were compared between the two groups. RESULTS A total of 134 patients with 157 nodules (size range, 0.6-3.8 cm) were enrolled in this study, 23 in the Vessel group and 111 in the Control group. A total of 21 patients in the Vessel group (91.3%) and 105 patients in the Control group (94.6%) achieved complete ablation (p = .902). Following 1:2 propensity score matching, 22 patients were included in the Vessel group and 40 patients were enrolled in the Control group. Local recurrence was observed in 2 (9.1%) patients in the Vessel group and 5 (12.5%) in the Control group (p = .86). No significant difference in local recurrence rate, RFS and OS were observed between the two groups. CONCLUSIONS Ultrasound-guided percutaneous MWA appears to be a safe procedure and can achieve comparable oncological efficacy for HCC abutting large vessels.
