Zhou F, Sun Y, Hou Y, Liu F, Yu X. Intratumoral perfusion may affect microwave ablation area of hepatocellular carcinoma. Int J Hyperthermia 2023; 40:2268892. [PMID: 37927295 DOI: 10.1080/02656736.2023.2268892] [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: 06/27/2023] [Accepted: 10/05/2023] [Indexed: 11/07/2023] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVES We aimed to evaluate the effect of intratumoral perfusion on microwave ablation (MWA) area in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). METHODS Patients who underwent curative MWA for HCC between October 2013 and May 2015 were enrolled. Three days before MWA, contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) was performed to illustrate the perfusion characteristics of the target lesion. Using the Sonoliver quantification software, time-intensity curves of dynamic CEUS were obtained, and quantitative parameters were extracted. Two microwave antennae were inserted into the center of the tumor and MWA was performed with a continuous power output of 50 W for 5 min. A second CEUS was performed to measure the size of the ablated region. Thereafter, an additional MWA procedure was performed until complete ablation with a 5-10-mm safety margin was achieved. RESULTS A total of 38 patients who underwent curative MWA for 39 HCC nodules were enrolled. The mean age was 57 years (34-80 years), and the median maximum diameter of the HCC was 3.4 cm (interquartile range, 2-6.8 cm). Time-intensity curves were obtained and the area under the curve (AUC) was selected as a parameter for intratumoral perfusion. The AUC was inversely and linearly correlated with the size of the MWA area, including long- and short-axis diameters and ablation volume. A 1,000-dB·s change in the AUC produced an average change of 1.17 ± 0.44 mm, 0.725 ± 0.355 mm, and 2.4995 ± 0.6575 cm³ in the long- and short-axis diameters and ablation volume, respectively. CONCLUSIONS The intratumoral perfusion of HCC was inversely correlated with MWA area size.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the fourth leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide. Due to the high prevalence of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection in China, the incidence of HCC in China is high, and liver cirrhosis caused by chronic hepatitis also brings great challenges to treatment. This paper reviewed the latest research progress on minimally invasive treatments for HCC, including percutaneous thermal ablation and new nonthermal ablation techniques, and introduced the principles, advantages, and clinical applications of various therapeutic methods in detail. DATA SOURCES The data of treatments for HCC were systematically collected from the PubMed, ScienceDirect, American Chemical Society and Web of Science databases published in English, using "minimally invasive" and "hepatocellular carcinoma" or "liver cancer" as the keywords. RESULTS Percutaneous thermal ablation is still a first-line strategy for the minimally invasive treatment of HCC. The effect of microwave ablation (MWA) on downgrading treatment before liver transplantation is better than that of radiofrequency ablation (RFA), while RFA is more widely used in the clinical practice. High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) is mainly used for the palliative treatment of advanced liver cancer. Electrochemotherapy (ECT) delivers chemotherapeutic drugs to the target cells while reducing the blood supply around HCC. Irreversible electroporation (IRE) uses a microsecond-pulsed electric field that induces apoptosis and necrosis and triggers a systemic immune response. The nanosecond pulsed electric field (nsPEF) has achieved a good response in the ablation of mice with HCC, but it has not been reported in China for the treatment of human HCC. CONCLUSIONS A variety of minimally invasive treatments provide a sufficient survival advantage for HCC patients. Nonthermal ablation will lead to a new wave with its unique advantage of antitumor recurrence and metastasis.

Application and Evaluation of a 64-Slice CT Three-Dimensional Fusion Technique in the Determination of the Effective Ablation Margin after Radiofrequency Ablation of Hepatocellular Carcinoma. COMPUTATIONAL AND MATHEMATICAL METHODS IN MEDICINE 2022; 2022:6898233. [PMID: 35126633 PMCID: PMC8813220 DOI: 10.1155/2022/6898233] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/13/2021] [Revised: 11/02/2021] [Accepted: 12/01/2021] [Indexed: 11/24/2022]
Abstract
Due to the low accuracy of traditional three-dimensional fusion technology in radiofrequency ablation of hepatocellular carcinoma, this paper studies the advantages of three-dimensional CT fusion technology over traditional two-dimensional imaging technology in preoperative visualization and radiofrequency ablation path selection of hepatocellular carcinoma. To study the prognostic differences of hepatocellular carcinoma patients with different ablation margins (AM) in the three groups, so as to explore the best AM value, so as to minimize the liver injury caused by radiofrequency ablation. The selected patients underwent CT plain scan and three-phase enhancement at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months after operation and were rechecked every 6 months. For recurrent patients, CT was rechecked every three months. The images were obtained by GE 64-slice spiral CT. The thickness of the reconstruction layer is 1 mm, and the interval is 1 mm. The reconstructed image is imported into 3D fusion software. The three-dimensional images of tumor focus, hepatic artery, portal vein, and hepatic vein were reconstructed by two experienced doctors by superimposing the saved tumor images, merging the vascular images into the display, and measuring the ablation boundary (AM value). The results showed that the recurrence rate in group A was higher than that in group B (P = 0.041), and there was no significant difference between group B and group C (P = 1.000). Compared with traditional two-dimensional imaging, three-dimensional CT fusion technology can display the anatomical structure and three-dimensional spatial relationship of tumors and blood vessels and select the best radiofrequency ablation path, so as to achieve accurate radiofrequency ablation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the incidence, risk factors and clinical significance of four types of tumor progression (TP) after microwave ablation (MWA) of single hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) of <5 cm. METHODS The data of 340 treatment-naïve, HCC patients with a single HCC of <5 cm underwent MWA between April 2012 and November 2017 were retrospectively reviewed. TPs including local tumor progression (LTP), intrahepatic distant recurrence (IDR), aggressive intrasegmental recurrence (AIR) and extrahepatic distant recurrence (EDR) were reviewed and compared between BCLC stage 0 and A. Univariate and multivariate analysis were performed on clinicopathological variables and different TPs to identify factors affecting long-term overall survival (OS). RESULTS In a median follow-up period of 25.6 months (range, 3.1-61.4 months), the rate of LTP, IDR, AIR and EDR was 6.2% (21/340), 29.1% (98/340), 3.2% (11/340) and 7.9% (27/340). The four types of TP occurrence rates in BCLC stage 0 were comparable to those in BCLC stage A (p = 0.492, 0.971, 0.681 and 0.219). Univariate analysis showed that age (p < 0.001, hazard ratio [HR] = 2.783), comorbidities (p = 0.042, HR = 1.864), IDR, AIR and EDR (p = 0.027, HR = 1.719; p = 0.001, HR = 3.628; p = 0.009, HR = 2.638) were independently associated with OS. Multivariate analysis showed older age (p < 0.001, HR = 2.478), the occurrence of AIR (p < 0.001, HR = 2.648) and the occurrence of EDR (p = 0.002, HR = 2.222), were associated with poor OS. CONCLUSIONS The occurrence rate of IDR is the highest of all TPs following MWA of a single HCC of <5cm. Old age, AIR and EDR had an adverse effect on long-term OS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND No-touch combined directed perfusion radiofrequency ablation (NTDP-RFA) is a new technique for the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The purpose of this study was to evaluate the short-term efficacy of this new technique for the treatment of small HCC with cirrhosis. METHODS From January 2017 to March 2018, 56 consecutive patients treated with NTDP-RFA at our center were enrolled in this retrospective study. All NTDP-RFA procedures involved the use of internally cooled wet electrodes with a directional injection function, which can perform both intraelectrode cooling and extraelectrode saline perfusion. Survival curves were analyzed using Kaplan-Meier methods, and Cox proportional hazards regression analyses were used to assess predictors of tumor progression and overall survival. Operative characteristics and complications were also assessed. RESULTS No technical failure occurred, and the complete ablation rate after single NTDP-RFA treatment was 98.2%. The median tumor diameter and ablation time were 26 (18.0 - 28.0) mm and 8 (6 - 8) min, respectively. Mild complications occurred in five patients (8.9%) postoperatively, and the median hospital stay was 4 (4 - 5) days. In the 18 patients (32.1%) with poor liver function reserve (indocyanine green retention rate at 15 min > 15%, their liver function returned to normal on the third day after the postoperation. The 1- and 2-year local and distant progression rates were 1.7%, 7.1%, 3.5% and 10.7%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS NTDP-RFA in the treatment of small HCC with cirrhosis has a low incidence of complications and provides a high survival rate without local tumor progression.

Abstract
Background To investigate the feasibility, safety and efficacy of percutaneous radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of pulmonary metastases from hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) contiguous with the mediastinum using the artificial pneumothorax technique. Method A total of 40 lesions in 32 patients with pulmonary metastases from HCC contiguous with the mediastinum accepted RFA treatment from August 2014 to May 2018 via the artificial pneumothorax technique. After ablation, clinical outcomes were followed up by contrast enhanced CT. Technical success, local tumor progression (LTP), intrapulmonary distant recurrence (IDR), and adverse events were evaluated. Overall survival (OS) and local tumor progression free survival (LTPFS) were recorded for each patient. Results The tumor size was 1.4 ± 0.6 cm in diameter. RFA procedures were all successfully performed without intra-ablative complications. Technical success was noted in 100% of the patients. Five cases of LTP and 8 cases of IDR occurred following the secondary RFA for treatment. Slight pain was reported in all patients. No major complications were observed. The 1, 2, and 3-year LTPFS rates were 90.6, 81.2, and 71.8%, and the 1, 2, and 3-year OS rates were 100, 100 and 87.5%, respectively. Conclusion Artificial pneumothorax adjuvant RFA is a feasible, safe, and efficient method for treatment of pulmonary metastases from HCC contiguous with the mediastinum.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to retrospectively compare the long-term efficacy of MW ablation as a curative therapy for hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC) adjacent to large vessels(≥3 mm) with that in safe location. Between 2010 and 2016, 406 patients diagnosed with early-stage HCC at Chinese PLA general hospital were enrolled. One-to-one matched pairs between the vessel group and the safe group were generated using propensity score matching. The associations of treatment strategy with overall survival and local tumor progression were determined by Cox regression. Before matching, 113 patients were classified into the vessel group and 293 patients were classified into the vessel group. The patients in the vessel group were more frequently classified as larger tumor size (P<0.05) and higher AFP level (P<0.05) than patients in the safe group. After propensity score matching, 113 pairs of well-matched HCC patients were selected from different treatment groups. No significant differences were found in local tumor progression, overall survival and complication rates for MW ablation as a first-line treatment for the early-stage HCC between two groups. In conclusion, MW ablation provides an effective and safe way to treat early-stage HCC adjacent to large vessels.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS The primary aim of this study was to compare the rate of global radiofrequency ablation (RFA) failure between monopolar RFA (MonoRFA) vs. no-touch multi-bipolar RFA (NTmbpRFA) for small hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) ⩽5cm in cirrhotic patients. METHODS A total of 362 cirrhotic patients were included retrospectively across four French centres (181 per treatment group). Global RFA failure (primary RFA failure or local tumour progression) was analysed using the Kaplan-Meier method after coarsened exact matching. Cox regression models were used to identify factors associated with global RFA failure and overall survival (OS). RESULTS Patients were well matched according to tumour size (⩽30/>30mm); tumour number (one/several); tumour location (subcapsular and near large vessel); serum AFP (<10; 10-100; >100ng/ml); Child-Pugh score (A/B) and platelet count (</⩾100G/L), p=1 for all. One case of perioperative mortality was observed in the NTmbpRFA group and the rate of major complications was 7.2% in both groups (p=1). The cumulative rates of global RFA failure at 1, 3 and 5years were respectively 13.3%, 31% and 36.7% for MonoRFA vs. 0.02%, 7.9% and 9.2% for NTmbpRFA, p<0.001. Monopolar RFA, tumour size >30mm and HCC near large vessel were independent factors associated with global RFA failure. Five-year OS was 37.2% following MonoRFA vs. 46.4% following NTmbpRFA p=0.378. CONCLUSIONS This large multicentre case-matched study showed that NTmbpRFA provided better primary RFA success and sustained local tumour response without increasing severe complications rates, for HCC ⩽5cm. LAY SUMMARY Using no-touch multi-bipolar radiofrequency ablation for hepatocellular carcinoma ⩽5cm provide a better sustained local tumour control compared to monopolar radiofrequency ablation.
