Icteric type hepatocellular carcinoma: clinical features, diagnosis and treatment.
Icteric type hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), a clinical entity of HCC presenting as obstructive jaundice caused by floating tumor debris in common bile duct, is rare. Taiwan has a high incidence of HCC and liver cirrhosis. The clinical features, diagnosis and treatment of this disease entity were reviewed. Not all patients with this disease were terminally ill. With proper management and good p...
متن کاملProton therapy for hepatocellular carcinoma.
Proton radiotherapy has seen an increasing role in the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Historically, external beam radiotherapy has played a very limited role in HCC due to a high incidence of toxicity to surrounding normal structures. The ability to deliver a high dose of radiation to the tumor is a key factor in improving outcomes in HCC. Advances in photon radiotherapy have impr...
متن کاملChemoembolization combined with pravastatin improves survival in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma.
BACKGROUND/AIMS Pravastatin, a 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase inhibitor, has been shown to inhibit growth and to induce apoptosis in human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells. However, the potential benefit of pravastatin in HCC patients has still not been characterized, which prompted us to test the efficacy of pravastatin in patients with advanced HCC. METHODS We investiga...
متن کاملSorafenib improves the survival of patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma: a meta-analysis of randomized trials.
There is no effective systemic therapy for patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) except liver transplantation. Sorafenib, a multikinase inhibitor, has been shown to significantly increase overall survival (OS) in a randomized, placebo-controlled, phase III trial of patients with HCC (SHARP). The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of sorafenib for advanced HCC by...
متن کاملMRI in detection of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC)
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the commonest malignancy of the liver and is usually due to cirrhosis. Early detection of HCC and the premalignant dysplastic nodules has implications on the management options of tumor ablation, liver resection and transplantation. Magnetic resonance imaging is useful for the detection and characterization of lesions, in the identification of dysplastic nodule...
