Objective: Arsenic trioxide (As2O3) can be used as a possible pharmaceutical alternative that augments radiofrequency (RE) ablation by reducing tumor blood flow. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of intraarterial and intravenous administration of As2O3 on RE-induced ablation in an experimentally induced liver tumor. Materials and Methods: VX2 carcinoma was grown in the Livers of 30 rabbits. As2O3 (1 mg/kg) was administered through the hepatic artery (n = 10, group A) or ear vein (n = 10, group B), 30 minutes before RE ablation (125 mA +/- 35; 90 +/- 5 degrees C). As a control group, 10 rabbits were treated with RE ablation alone (group C). RE was intentionally applied to the peripheral margin of the tumor so that ablation can cover the tumor and adjacent hepatic parenchyma. Ablation areas of the tumor and adjacent parenchymal changes among three groups were compared by the Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney U test. Results: The overall ablation areas were 156 +/- 28.9 m(2) (group A), 119 +/- 31.7 (group B), and 92 +/- 17.4 (group C, p < 0.04). The ablation area of the tumor was significantly larger in group A (73 +/- 19.7 mm(2)) than both group B (50 +/- 19.4, p = 0.02) and group C (28 +/- 2.2, p < 0.01). The ratios of the tumoral ablation area to the overall ablation area were larger in group A (47 +/- 10.5%) than that of the other groups (42 +/- 7.3% in group B and 32 +/- 5.6% in group C) (p < 0.03). Conclusion: Radiofrequency-induced ablation area can be increased with intraarterial or intravenous administration of As2O3. The intraarterial administration of As2O3 seems to be helpful for the selective ablation of the tumor.
