This document outlines a randomized controlled trial comparing surgical resection to radiofrequency ablation for small hepatocellular carcinoma. It describes the inclusion criteria such as tumor size less than 5cm and liver function tests within normal limits, as well as exclusion criteria like extrahepatic spread or portal vein thrombosis. The materials and methods section explains that patients will be randomly assigned to either surgical resection or radiofrequency ablation and their outcomes will be evaluated to determine the best treatment approach for small hepatocellular carcinoma.
