Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

To observe and compare the short-term and long-term oncological outcome of laparoscopic hepatectomy and radiofrequency ablation in the treatment of recurrent hepatocellular carcinoma .

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Background \& Aims: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the third leading cause of cancer-related death in the world. The 5-year recurrent rate of HCC after first curative resection is 77%\~100%. Laparoscopic repeat liver resection (LRLR) has been shown in small retrospective studies to be a safe and effective treatment for recurrent hepatocellular carcinoma (rHCC) in selected patients, and radiofrequency ablation (RFA) has been increasingly performed for treating recurrent tumors involving the liver after hepatectomy. The aim of this study was to compare the short-term and long-term outcome of laparoscopic hepatectomy (LH) and radiofrequency ablation (RFA) in the treatment of rHCC.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Laparoscopic Hepatectomy

Improvements in laparoscopic technology mean that LH now has superior short-term efficacy and similar long-term efficacy to open surgery , and LH has shown significant advantages in applications involving recurrent HCC.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Laparoscopic Hepatectomy

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

180 patients with recurrent HCC with recurrent nodular diameters of less than 5 cm and up to three nodules were randomly divided into LH (n=90) and RFA groups (n=90). Outcomes were monitored and evaluated during the 5-year follow-up period.

Radiofrequency Ablation

With recent technological advances, RFA has become the most widely investigated new first-line therapeutic option for recurrent HCCs . Numerous large studies have demonstrated the advantages of RFA, which include its ease of use, safety, effectiveness, minimal invasiveness, and minimal morbidity and mortality .

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Radiofrequency Ablation

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

180 patients with recurrent HCC with recurrent nodular diameters of less than 5 cm and up to three nodules were randomly divided into LH (n=90) and RFA groups (n=90). Outcomes were monitored and evaluated during the 5-year follow-up period.
