MRI 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...

Clinical biomarkers in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).

The Authors make a review of the most important molecules used today for detecting and screening hepatocellular carcinoma, analyzing their known biological features, advantages and limits especially concerning differential diagnosis from cirrhosis and others diseases. AFP, AFP-L3, DCP, Alpha-1-fucosidase are analyzed and all the current knowledge reviewed, as well as focusing on possible future...

Novel insights into the molecular heterogeneity of hepatocellular carcinoma Running head: HCC molecular heterogeneity

Can hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) produce unconventional metastases? Four cases of extrahepatic HCC.

AIMS AND BACKGROUND Extrahepatic spread of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) diagnosed during the clinical course of the disease is not frequent; however, with the prolonged survival of HCC patients, the incidence of extrahepatic metastases seems to be increasing. METHODS AND STUDY DESIGN We present four unusual cases of extrahepatic metastasis from HCC: the first concerns a patient who underwen...
