NCT04365751

Brief Summary

The study was a prospective multicenter cohort control study, which was divided into 1:1 groups to compare the clinical efficacy of percutaneous microwave ablation and laparoscopic hepatocellular carcinoma resection (tumor diameter 3.1-5.0cm).

Study Arms (2)

Percutaneous microwave ablation group

EXPERIMENTAL

MWA (Microwave) is an ultrasound-guided, minimally invasive technique that implants ablation electrodes into target tissue to rapidly generate high temperatures and rapidly develop coagulative necrosis in tumor tissue, thereby achieving the goal of local tumor treatment.

Procedure: Percutaneous microwave ablation, Laparoscopic hepatectomy

Laparoscopic hepatectomy

OTHER

Laparoscopic hepatectomy is a widely used surgical technique in the treatment of benign (malignant) liver diseases

Procedure: Percutaneous microwave ablation, Laparoscopic hepatectomy

Interventions

For patients with hepatocellular carcinoma who meet the enrollment requirements, under the guidance of ultrasound, microwave ablation electrodes were implanted into the tumor tissues by percutaneous puncture, and the high-temperature heat energy was generated to cause coagulation necrosis of the tumor, so as to achieve the goal of local tumor treatment with minimally invasive technology.

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years+
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Older than 18 years old, regardless of gender; 2.In patients without cirrhosis background, hepatocellular carcinoma was definitely pathologically diagnosed within 1 month before surgery. In patients with cirrhosis background, dynamic contrast enhanced MRI/ multi-stage dynamic enhanced CT were used to determine the characteristic vascular signs of primary liver cancer (rapid heterogeneous vascular enhancement in arterial phase, rapid elution in venous phase or delayed phase); 3.The number of tumors was ≤3, and the maximum diameter of at least one tumor was 3.1-5.0cm; 4.No vascular and lymph node invasion and distant metastasis; 5.Liver function: child-pugh A or B (assessed within 14 days before surgery); 6.Subjects will understand the purpose of the study, voluntarily participate and sign the informed consent.
