The purpose of our study was to assess the therapeutic results of radiofrequency ablation of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) based on the histologic grades of the tumors. Between April 1999 and December 2003, 95 patients with nodular HCC were treated with percutaneous radiofrequency ablation. All tum...
