The high incidence of tumor seeding along the needle tract, reported by Llovet et al., 1 has not been reported as a complication of radiofrequency (RF) ablation of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with the cooled needle in studies that date from 1996 and include several hundred patients.

## Abstract ## Background A recent small study reported a high rate of neoplastic seeding after cooled-tip radiofrequency ablation (RFA) for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in patients who had undergone previous needle biopsy. Tumour seeding was associated with subcapsular tumour location, poorly d
