Factors Associated with Short-Term Local Recurrence of Liver Cancer after Percutaneous Ablation Using Irreversible Electroporation: A Prospective Single-Center Study

However, patients with larger tumor volumes appeared to be poor candidates for percutaneous IRE. Regarding the different types of treated lesions, patients with HCC had significantly better outcomes.
