Objective
Meta-analysis was used to assess the efficacy and safety of ultrasound-guided radiofrequency ablation combined with transhepatic artery embolization chemotherapy for hepatocellular carcinoma.
Methods
Randomized controlled studies on ultrasound-guided radiofrequency ablation combined with transhepatic artery embolization chemotherapy for hepatocellular carcinoma were searched in the databases of PubMed, Embase, Cochrane library, web of science with a search deadline of March 14, 2024. Data were analyzed using Stata 15.0.
Result
Six randomized controlled studies involving 520 individuals were finally included, the results of meta-analysis showed that ultrasound-guided radiofrequency ablation combined with TACE can improve objective response rate [RR = 1.52, 95%CI (1.28, 1.81)], improve disease control rate [RR = 1.15, 95%CI (1.06, 1.24)], The survival rate [RR = 1.34, 95%CI (1.19,1.51)] did not increase adverse reactions [RR = 1.34, 95%CI (1.00,1.79)].
Conclusion
Based on the findings of the current study, ultrasound-guided radiofrequency ablation combined with TACE was found to improve the objective remission rate, disease control rate, and did not increase adverse events in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma.
