Interventions TACE + RFA group (n = 30):
TACE: Chemotherapeutic drugs: oxaliplatin 100‐150 mg and theprubicin 40‐60 mg. Two sessions of TACE were performed, with an interval of one month.
RFA: The interval between TACE and RFA was 2 weeks. RANDIONICS system. Output power of 0‐200 W and frequency of 480 kHz
TACE group (n = 30):
Chemotherapeutic drugs: oxaliplatin 100‐150 mg and theprubicin 40‐60 mg. Two sessions of TACE were performed, with an interval of one month.
Outcomes Tumour response: measured by contrast‐enhanced CT at 1 month after treatment
1‐ and 2‐year survival rates
Progression‐free survival

There was insufficient information available to satisfactorily determine the method of randomisation and the study data could not be verified. We have attempted to contact the study authors for more information, but so far, we have not been successful in doing this.
