Hepatic radiofrequency ablation: markedly reduced systemic effects by modulating periablational inflammation via cyclooxygenase-2 inhibition.

Objectives: To determine whether celecoxib, a cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitor, can potentiate hepatic radiofrequency ablation (RFA)-induced local cellular infiltration and distant tumour growth.Methods: First, COX-2 expression was evaluated using immunohistochemistry in the local periablational r...
