Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

The evidences of HBV(+) &/or HCV(+) infection or liver cirrhosis
Two to three tumor nodules with Child-Pugh classification A or single to three tumor nodules with Child-Pugh classification B
The maximal, longest diameter of tumor mass measured by CT finding should be less than 2 cm.
1) Only for newly detected HCCs which were not treated before or 2) If treated before, it should be noted that there is no evidence of recurrence within the latest 6 months and, and also it should be remotely recurred more than 2cm apart from primary lesion.
