Radiofrequency ablation vs radiation therapy vs transarterial chemoembolization vs yttrium 90 for local treatment of liver cancer – a systematic review and network meta-analysis of survival data
Abstract
INTRODUCTION: The comparative effectiveness of radiofrequency ablation (RFA), radiation therapy (RT), transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) and transarterial radioembolization with Yttrium-90 (Y90) relative to one another for the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is unclear.
