摘　　要：Percutaneous local therapies, such as percutaneous ethanol injection （PEI）, microwave coagulation and radiofrequency ablation （RFA）, are frequently used worldwide for the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma （HCC） because of their high effectiveness. Although these treatment modalities can induce effectively coagulated tumor necrosis in the liver, they may cause adverse effects on extrahepatic abdominal organs. There are, however, no published reports on the influence of percutaneous local therapies on the gastric myenteric activity. Therefore, it is unclear whether or not gastric function is affected by percutaneous local therapies. In this study, to make clear the effect of PEI and RFA on the gastric function, we continuously recorded the gastric myoelectric activity by electrogastrography （EGG） and estimated the effect of percutaneous local therapies for HCC on gastric function.TO THE EDITORPercutaneous local therapies,such as percutaneous ethanolinjection(PEI),microwave coagulation and radiofrequencyablation(RFA),are frequently used world,vide for thetreatment of hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)becauseof their high effectiveness.Although these treatmentmodalities can induce effectively coagulated tumornecrosis in the liver,they may cause adverse effects onextrahepatic abdominal organs.There are,however。
