Objective The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical outcomes of ultrasound-guided percutaneous microwave ablation (US-guided PMWA) for the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with the analysis of prognostic factors.Materials and methods The treatment and survival parameters of 433 patients with HCC (5 cm in diameter, and higher serum AFP level (>20 ng/ml) were significant unfavorable prognosticators of progression-free survival (PFS). The cumulative 1-, 2-, and 3-year overall survival (OS) rates were 83.5, 66.1, and 58.7 %, respectively (median: 43 months). Tumor >5 cm in diameter and serum AFP >400 ng/ml were significant unfavorable prognosticators of OS.Conclusions PMWA is well tolerated in HCC patients and capable of offering high CA rate. Tumor number, tumor size, and AFP level were significant prognosticators of patients' PFS, whereas tumor size and AFP level were significant prognosticators of OS.
