Results of laparoscopic radiofrequency ablation for HCC. Could the location of the tumour influence a complete response to treatment? A single European centre experience

ConclusionLRFA of HCC is safe, feasible and achieves excellent results in selected patients. LRFA should be the first‐line technique for subcapsular lesions as it minimizes the risk of tumoural seeding and improves ICR. Proximity to gallbladder interferes in treatment efficacy (lower rate of ICR and lower rate of SCR).
