Brief Summary

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

HCC is one of most common causes of cancer-related death in the world due to lately diagnosis by typical hallmarks which rely on completed arterialization. So it is important to earlier diagnose and treat hypovascular early HCC(eHCC). The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of microwave ablation for early HCC, also to explore the feasibility of EOB-MRI (Gd-EOB-DTPA enhanced MRI) guided ablation.

single-group with MWA

334 patients with confirmed or suspected eHCC as indicated by EOB-MRI were to be included in this study in a population with high or extremely high-risk of hepatocellular carcinoma in chronic liver disease. Then Microwave ablation (MWA) was performed under EOB-MRI guidance in patients with confirmed or suspected eHCC.
