Growth speed of hepatocellular carcinoma. Relationship with arterial vascularity evaluated by US angiography.

Macula in Glaucoma: Vascularity Evaluated by OCT Angiography

To assess vascularity of the macular area in patients with glaucoma using optical coherence tomography angiography (OCT-A). 38 eyes of patients with the early stage of primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG), 27 eyes of patients with the advanced and far-advanced stages of POAG, and 22 eyes of age-matched healthy subjects were examined using spectral-domain OCT-A (SD-OCT-А) (RtVue xR Avanti with the...

transcatheter arterial chemoembolization therapy for patients with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma

conclusions we showed that in treatment of patients with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma, tace significantly improved the disease and the overall survival rate. also, we introduce the tumor size, serum alp level, and number of liver involved segments as prognostic factors of the procedure. finally, tace can be recommended as the initial treatment for unresectable hcc patients. background ...

DISCRIMINATION OF HEPATOCELLULAR CARCINOMA FROM CIRRHOTIC NODULES BY AgNOR STAIN

Discrimination of regenerative cirrhotic nodules of the liver (CN) from hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is sometimes difficult. We examined the utility of AgNOR staining in this context. Fifteen cases of HCC and 25 cases of CN were stained by AgNOR method and the mean AgNOR number for one hundred nuclei in each case was determined. There was a significant difference between the mean AgNOR c...

Application of multislice spiral CT angiography on transcatheter arterial chemoembolization for hepatocellular carcinoma.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Multislice spiral CT angiography (MSCTA) is very important in the diagnosis and treatment of liver diseases. Currently, most studies on three-dimensional MSCTA of the liver vascular system focus on the liver tumors, preoperative assessment of liver transplantation and the systematic anatomy of the liver vascular system. This study was to investigate the clinical applica...
