Highlights ■ Minimally invasive neoadjuvants are usually recommended for patients on the transplant waiting list. ■ Radiofrequency ablation showed a higher necrosis rate and superior radiological response than did percutaneous ethanol injection and transarterial chemoembolization in this study cohort. ABSTRACT Objective: We aimed to compare the radiological response in small hepatocellular carcinomas treated with radiofrequency ablation, percutaneous ethanol injection, and transarterial chemoembolization using the modified Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumor radiological evaluation in patients on the waiting list for […]
