The Role of Diffusion Weighted MR Imaging in Assessment of Hepatocellular Carcinoma After Radiofrequency Ablation
Akeel Faisal Ghazee;
Abstract
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common primary liver malignancy and is a leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide (Julius Balogh et al. 2016)
Surgical resection and local ablative therapies represent the most frequent first lines therapies adopted when liver transplantation cannot be offered (Alessandro Cucchetti et al., 2013)
Radiofrequency ablation has become the most widely used local thermal ablation method in recent years because of its technical ease, safety, satisfactory local tumor control, and minimally invasive nature (KaiFeng and Kuan et al., 2014)
After certain loco-regional treatments such as RFA, the assessment of tumor response remains difficult .
