Percutaneous ethanol injection enhanced the efficacy of radiofrequency ablation in the treatment of HCC: an insight into the mechanism of ethanol action

Percutaneous ethanol injection enhanced the efficacy of radiofrequency ablation in the treatment of HCC: an insight into the mechanism of ethanol action

Purpose To discuss the possible reasons why percutaneous intratumoral ethanol injection (PEI) combined with radiofrequency ablation (RFA) to treat hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) reduced the recurrence and metastasis compared with RFA alone. Materials and methods Forty VX2 tumor-bearing rabbits were...
