Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Complete tumor ablation rate

    the percentage of complete ablation subjects for all subjects undergoing ablation surgery. Complete ablation: Follow up by MRI scan 1 month after surgery, the area where the tumor is located is in the low-density arterial phase without enhancement; if the tumor is followed up by MRI scan 1 month after surgery, there is enhancement in the local arterial phase within the tumor lesion, which suggests that the tumor remains. The tumor could be treated by re-ablation; if there is still residual tumor in MRI scan 1 month after the second ablation, it is judged as incomplete ablation.

    1 month after surgery

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • First complete tumor ablation rate

    1 month after surgery

  • Complete ablation rate of lesions

    1 month after surgery

Study Arms (1)

single-arm

EXPERIMENTAL

Subjects will be treated with microwave ablation.

Device: microwave ablation

Interventions

ultrasound-guided microwave ablation is performed to treat hepatocellular carcinoma patients

single-arm

Eligibility Criteria

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

You may qualify if:

  • Pathological and/or clinical diagnosis confirmed as primary liver cancer (hepatocellular carcinoma).
  • Single tumor with maximum diameter ≤ 5cm ; or tumors number ≤ 3 with maximum diameter ≤ 3cm.
  • No invasion of blood vessels, gallbladder, adjacent organs and distant metastasis.
  • Child-Pugh class A or B classification, or meet the standard after treatment.
  • Able to understand the content of clinical trials, voluntarily participate in the trial and sign informed consent.

You may not qualify if:

  • Pregnant or breastfeeding, or preparing to become pregnant during the trial.
  • Participating in clinical trials of other devices or drugs.
  • Uncorrectable coagulation dysfunction (after corrective treatment, the PT exceeds the normal control value by more than 3s).
  • PLT \<50x109/L.
  • Intractable massive ascites.
  • Cachexia.
  • MRI examination is contraindicated or the investigator judges it is not suitable for MRI examination.
  • Patients with bleeding from esophageal (fundus of stomach) varicose veins 1 month before surgery.
  • Patients with impaired consciousness or unable to cooperate with treatment.
  • The investigator judged that it is not suitable to participate in clinical trials.
