Abstract

Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is a standard treatment for small, unresectable hepatocellular carcinomas (HCCS). However, RFA for larger tumours is less successful, and intravenous lyso-thermosensitive liposomal doxorubicin during RFA is one technique postulated to potentially address that limitation. This drug-plus-device combination therapy was used to completely treat a HCC in a patient who underwent liver transplantation 79 days later.
