Histological Grading of Hepatocellular Carcinoma—A Systematic Review of Literature
Background Histological grading typically reflects the biological behavior of solid tumors, thus providing valuable prognostic information. This is also expected in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), although limited access to biopsy samples and a lack of standardization might hinder its full predictive value in this cancer. Objectives In order to better understand the current practices of histo...
متن کاملFDG-avid portal vein tumor thrombosis from hepatocellular carcinoma in contrast-enhanced FDG PET/CT
Objective(s): In this study, we aimed to describe the characteristics of portal vein tumor thrombosis (PVTT), complicating hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in contrast-enhanced FDG PET/CT scan. Methods: In this retrospective study, 9 HCC patients with FDG-avid PVTT were diagnosed by contrast-enhanced fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (FDG PET/CT), which is a comb...
متن کاملContrast-enhanced ultrasonography: a recent application for the diagnosis and treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma.
Hepatocellular carcinoma has a decisive influence on the prognosis of cirrhotic patients, and the use of imaging modalities is essential for the screening, diagnosis and treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma. Ultrasound plays a major role among them, because it provides real-time and non-invasive observation by a simple and easy technique. In addition, ultrasound-guided needle puncture methods ...
متن کاملQuantitative Assessment of Tissue Perfusion in Hepatocellular Carcinoma Using Perflubutane Dynamic Contrast-Enhanced Ultrasonography: A Preliminary Study.
Our purpose in this study was to assess the relationship between contrast signal intensity (CI) and concentration of perflubutane microbubbles in a phantom experiment, and to examine the feasibility of this technique for quantitative analysis of vascularity in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Microbubble solutions of the perflubutane contrast agent were prepared by mixing with purified water. We...
متن کاملCorrelation analysis between the parameters of contrast-enhanced ultrasonography in evaluating cervical cancer metastasis and expression of E-cadherin
The study aims to investigate the correlation between the parameters of contrast-enhanced ultrasonography in evaluating cervical cancer metastasis and expression of E-cadherin. All 120 patients with cervical cancer underwent contrast-enhanced ultrasonography. According to the results of postoperative pathological examination, patients were divided into distant metastasis group (group A), lymph ...
