Figure 2From: Transcatheter arterial chemoembolization combined with radiofrequency ablation delays tumor progression and prolongs overall survival in patients with intermediate (BCLC B) hepatocellular carcinoma Radiofrequency ablation after transarterial chemoembolization was performed on the same patient with 6-cm HCC after initial TACE treatment. (A) CT scan after TACE treatment shows lipiodol uptake in the central aspect of the lesion. (B) Contrast-enhanced MRI scan at 4 weeks after RFA shows complete tumor necrosis without arterial enhancement within the lesion. (C) Contrast-enhanced MRI scan at 6 months after combination treatment shows no tumor recurrence in the liver.Back to article page
