How many years can one live after ablation for early stage liver cancer is related to the patient’s physical condition, the size of liver cancer, ablation technology, etc. The effect of ablation for early stage liver cancer is basically the same as that of surgical resection, and the 5-year survival rate is about 70%. Local ablation therapy is a treatment means to locate the tumor through image guidance and kill the tumor tissues directly by physical or chemical methods locally, which has the characteristics of small trauma, exact curative effect and easy to be repeated for many times, including radiofrequency ablation, microwave ablation, cryoablation and so on. The therapeutic effect of ablation technology for early stage liver cancer is basically the same as that of surgical resection, and the 5-year survival rate can reach 70%. 1. Radiofrequency ablation: it is the most popular ablation technology for liver cancer at present. 2. Microwave ablation: compared with radiofrequency ablation, microwave ablation has physical advantages, including shorter ablation time and insensitivity to carbonization. 3. Cryoablation: compared with radiofrequency ablation and other thermal ablation methods, cryoablation destroys and kills the tumor through repeated cycles of low temperature and re-warming of the tumor tissue locally. If liver cancer is diagnosed, early and standardized treatment is recommended to reduce the adverse effects of the disease.
