Brief Title: Efficacy and Safety of Sorafenib as Adjuvant and Latter Radiofrequency Ablation for Recurrent Hepatocellular Carcinoma
Official Title: Efficacy and Safety of Combination of Sorafenib as Preoperative Adjuvant and Latter Radiofrequency Ablation in the Treatment Of Recurrent Hepatocellular Carcinoma: A Prospective Multicenter Cohort Study
Study ID: NCT03097848
Brief Summary: Radiofrequency ablation is a popular treatment for recurrent hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC),but still has a higher recurrence. Sorafenib as neo-adjuvant therapy in combination of RFA was not reported yet. There's a theoretical advantage of this combination. Hence in this study the efficacy and safety of pre-administrative Sorafenib and Latter radiofrequency ablation (RFA) in Recurrent HCC will be tested in a multicenter prospective cohort study.

Hence in this study the efficacy and safety of pre-administrative Sorafenib and Latter radiofrequency ablation (RFA) in Recurrent HCC will be tested in a multicenter prospective cohort study. Eligible cases will be assigned into the experimental group and the control group. For experiment group, sorafenib tablet will be given for two weeks, and then perform radiofrequency ablation.
