Study shows safety and efficacy of radio-wave therapy for liver cancer patients
Researchers at Wake Forest School of Medicine have shown that a targeted therapy using non-thermal radio waves is safe to use in the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), the most common type of liver cancer. The therapy also showed a benefit in overall survival.
The study findings appear online in 4Open, a journal published by EDP Sciences.
HCC accounts for nearly 90% of all liver cancers, and current survival rates are between six and 20 months. Currently, there are limited treatment options for patients with this advanced liver cancer.
