Aim: This meta-analysis was designed to compare the effectiveness of the combination of transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) and radiofrequency ablation (RFA) vs. that of TACE alone in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) tumors larger than 5 cm. Methods: PUBMED, CNKI, and CBM were searched for all related randomized controlled trials (RCTs) up until October 22, 2018. Eleven studies were identified that compared TACE with RFA vs. TACE alone for HCC treatment. Tumor response rate, the proportion of patients with either complete or partial shrinkage of tumors, and survival rate were the major evaluation indices. Results: Meta-analysis data revealed that TACE with RFA showed significantly better tumor response rate (risk ratio (RR) = 1.452, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.308-1.610, P < 0.001) and 1-year overall survival rate (RR = 1.412, 95% CI: 1.249-1.596, P < 0.001) than that of TACE alone treatment. Conclusion: The data of our study indicates that TACE combined with RFA in the treatment of HCC larger than 5 cm is an effective comprehensive interventional therapy.
