متن کاملTranscatheter arterial chemoembolization and percutaneous ethanol injection for Hepatocellular carcinoma: a retrospective review of the Veterans Affairs Caribbean Healthcare System.
BACKGROUND Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a common malignancy worldwide and has a poor prognosis. Although surgery and liver transplantation provide better outcomes, most patients are not candidates due to advanced disease, lack of donor availability, or presence of comorbidities. Several percutaneous approaches such as transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) and percutaneous ethanol...
متن کاملPercutaneous ethanol injection for ablation of hepatocellular carcinoma
Percutaneous ethanol injection (PEI) has been most widely performed as one of the effective ablative techniques for small Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The ideal patient for alcohol injection should have fewer than three HCC tumors, each of which is well defined, less than 3cm in diameter, surrounded by a fibrous shell and not near the surface of the liver. It is contraindicated in patients w...
