Abstract
We experienced a 11 year long-term survival case after percutaneous microwave coagulation therapy (PMCT) for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). We performed PMCT in 3 lesions, radiofrequency ablation in 6 lesions and percutaneous ethanol injection in 3 lesions during 11 years. Interferon (IFN) therapy was started from 2006, and HCV became negative and liver function improved. We think that early detection of HCC, curative loco-regional treatment of HCC, and IFN therapy were effective for this patient.
