Hepatocellular carcinoma

MRB before treatment MRB after treatment

Before treatment.

After treatment.

This 3cm hepatocelluar carcinoma appeared elsewhere in the liver after prior surgery for the same disease. Repeat surgery was avoided by treating this tumor by inserting a needle through the skin and killing all of the tumor. Note that there is a clean margin of dark and devascularized, dead tissue including the old tumor and the surrounding tissue.
