## BACKGROUND. Although percutaneous microwave coagulation is relatively noninvasive therapy for patients with hepatic tumors, coagulation of tumors is sometimes incomplete and local recurrence occurs. The authors hypothesized that the cause of incomplete coagulation was a cooling effect in surroun
## Abstract ## BACKGROUND The objectives of this study were to clarify risk factors for local tumor recurrence and to determine which patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) are most suitable for a single session, single application of percutaneous radiofrequency (RF) ablation. ## METHODS F
