Interventions/Control_1
TACE-RFA group: Transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) was performed by selectively introducing a microcatheter into the right/left hepatic artery or tumor feeding arteries injecting epirubicin, lipiodol, and gelatin sponge. Within 24 hours after TACE, radiofrequency ablation (RFA) was performed percutaneously using multitined expandable electrodes or internally cooled electrodes.
Interventions/Control_2
RFA group: RFA was performed percutaneously using multitined expandable electrodes or internally cooled electrodes.
