Therapeutic efficacy of hepatic resection versus radiofrequency ablation for recurrent hepatocellular carcinoma within Milan criteria: a propensity score matching study
For recurrent hepatocellular carcinoma within Milan Criteria, while hepatic resection improved recurrence-free survival, overall survival did not differ significantly between resection and RFA. RFA may be considered for selected high-risk surgical patients, acknowledging its higher recurrence potential.
