Huo J et al. Comparative Effectiveness of Computed Tomography-Versus Ultrasound-Guided Percutaneous Radiofrequency Ablation Among Medicare Patients 65 Years of Age or Older With Hepatocellular Carcinoma. Value Health 2019; 22(3):284–292 Die Inzidenz des Leberzellkarzinoms hat sich in den letzen 20 Jahren mehr als verdoppelt. 2018 wurden in den USA mehr als 31 600 neue Fälle registriert, knapp die Hälfte dieser Patienten war älter als 65 Jahre. Die damit verbundenen jährlichen Kosten werden auf 455 Millionen US Dollar geschätzt.
