- Abstract
Reported mortalities and morbidities of therapeutic procedures for liver tumors vary between studies, because of different designs and small sample sizes. We investigated the mortalities and complication rates for hepatectomy, radiofrequency ablation (RFA), and trans-catheter arterial embolization (TAE) for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in a large sample, using a nationwide Japanese database (the Diagnosis Procedure Combination database).
