In order to rise the efficiency of combined therapy and evaluate the value and status of cryosurgery in advancedstage liver cancer, liquid nitrogen was employed in treating 90 patients with hepatic carcinoma in our department from Nov. 1994 to Dec. 1997. The results revealed that cryotherapy could induce unrecoverable coagulation necrosis of the tumors. The levels of serum AFP decreased after cryosurgery and one patient has been surviving for three years. The authors believe that cryosurgery is an effective method for unresectable lesions of hepatic carcinoma and has a probability in decreasing its postoperative recurrent rate.
