Popis:	Microwave coagulation therapy (MCT) has been shown to be a reliable method for liver cancer. It can control local liver cancer especially less than 3 cm diameter. But the problems of conventional PMCT electrodes that the diameter of tissue coagulation achievable of with a single electrode insertion is limited, multiple electrode insertions were needed and related complications were occurred dose not resolved. We have recently investigated a newly devised PMCT electrode named PERCUPRO®. It can elevate the forward power and decrease the reflecting power. It is coated with Teflon and cooled down system.This article outlines laboratory experience and clinical experience of MCT using PERCUPRO®. New PMCT electrodes can coagulate lager than previous electrodes in liver. Post-operative complications were not seen in the patients using new type of PMCT electrodes MCT for Liver cancer using PERCUPRO® electrodes are more effective, useful and safe therapeutic modality for liver cancer compared with conventional PMCT electrodes.
