Ablation: Ablation including (microwave ablation, radiofrequency ablation, cryoblation), this surgery was conducted under CT guidence. The pulmonary was completely ablated.
system therapy: Paticipants received systemic therapy according the instructions.
Study summary
Ablation has been an effective therapy in treating intrathoracic metastases. However, for hepatocellular carcinoma with pulmonary oligometastasis, ablation of metastases remains relatively unexplored and still needs clinical evidence.
