Brief Summary

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

Ablation has been an effective therapy in treating intrathoracic metastases. However, for hepatocellular carcinoma with pulmonary oligometastasis, ablation of metastases remains relatively unexplored and still needs clinical evidence.

Detailed Description

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

Systemic therapy is the standard treatment for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with metastasis. However, metastases with limited number (oligometastasis) can represent a subtype and transition point between localized disease and widespread metastases. Thus, eliminating metastases could be advantageous and beneficial to the prognosis if feasible and permitted. Image-guided ablation therapy, such as microwave ablation (MWA), radiofrequency ablation (RFA), and cryoablation, has attracted great interest as a minimally invasive approach against intrathoracic metastases. Recently, ablation has been used on patients with pulmonary metastases from various cancers. This technique yields high proportions of sustained complete responses and is associated with relatively low morbidity. This multicenter study focuses on the management of ablation of oligometastasis therapy combined with systemic therapy.
