Radiofrequency ablation
Radiofrequency ablation will be performed by using the Octopus MP electrodes. It is a method of directly measuring the temperature near the surrounding tissue of the target tumor using the Octopus MP electrode, and stopping ablation when the temperature rises above 60 degrees to prevent adjacent organ (gallbladder, gastrointestinal tracts, diaphragm, and heart). If the shape of the tumor is elliptical or irregular rather than circular, using an adjustable tip that can change the length of the active tip of the electrode according to the size of the tumor has the advantage of tailoring the ablation zone.
Eligibility Criteria
Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.
Inclusion Criteria

* presence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) after confirmed by pathology or imaging studies including contrast enhanced computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) according to the Korean Liver Cancer Study Group (KLCSG)-National Cancer Center (NCC) Korea practice guidelines.
* up to 3 lesions, each greater than less than or equal to 3 cm at the time of locoregional treatment.
Exclusion Criteria
* largest HCC size over 3 cm
* presence of vascular invasion by HCC
* platelet count less than 40,000 per mm3 or International Normalized Ratio (INR) prolongation over 50%
* presence of extrahepatic metastasis
