Microwave ablation versus radiofrequency ablation for hepatocellular carcinoma: a propensity score matching and inverse probability weighting analysis
The 5-year overall survival rates for RFA and MWA remained similar. The discrepancies in the 5-year cumulative recurrence-free rate might be attributed to the small MWA cohort, possible differences in patient selection, the margin assessment procedure used and the overall short follow-up period.
