mOS: median overall survival; RFA: radiofrequency thermal-ablation; MWA: microwave ablation; PEI: percutaneous ethanol injection; CA: cryoablation; IRE: irreversible electroporation; TAE: transarterial embolization; TACE: transarterial chemoembolization; DEB-TACE: transarterial chemoembolization with drug-eluting beads; SIRT: selective internal radiation therapy.
