Synchronous <i>vs</i> sequential combination of transarterial chemoembolization and microwave ablation for hepatocellular carcinoma: Efficacy and prognosis
Synchronous TACE combined with MWA is non-inferior to the sequential approach regarding therapeutic efficacy, survival outcomes, safety, and tumor control in HCC. Notably, the synchronous strategy offers procedural advantages by reducing ablation attempts and shortening treatment duration.
