Non-B, non-C hepatocellular carcinoma (Review).
Although most hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is related to viral infection, there is a substantial population of HCC patients (5-20%) who are negative for both markers of hepatitis B virus and hepatitis C virus infection [non-B, non-C (NBNC) hepatitis] in Japan and the incidence of NBNC-HCC has recently tended to increase. The most common cause of liver disease in developed countries is non‑alc...
متن کاملPercutaneous Local Ablation Therapy for Hepatocellular Carcinoma
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a prevalent disease in Asia and the second leading cause of cancer death in Hong Kong.1 Surgical resection is regarded as the curative treatment. However, only 20% to 30% of HCC patients are suitable surgical candidates.2,3 Over the years, various locoregional therapies have been employed for the treatment of unresectable HCC. These include the widely practised...
متن کاملPercutaneous radiofrequency thermal ablation for hepatocellular carcinoma.
BACKGROUND Radiofrequency thermal ablation is the first therapeutic option in percutaneous treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma but data on its long-term efficacy and safety are not conclusive. AIM This study reports a prospective survey on radiofrequency thermal ablation in north-east Italy. METHODS Data were collected on 401 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (males 301, mean age: 68...
متن کاملPercutaneous, non-operative radio frequency ablation for haemostasis of ruptured hepatocellular carcinoma.
Spontaneous rupture and hemorrhage is a devastating complication of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Results from current therapeutic modalities remain varied. Recent development of percutaneous radiofrequency ablation (RFA) in the management of this condition has shown promise. We describe 2 cases of ruptured HCC in which nonoperative, percutaneous radio frequency ablation (RFA) was successful ...
متن کاملDrop metastasis from hepatocellular carcinoma after percutaneous radiofrequency ablation therapy
For treating hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), radiofrequency ablation (RFA), a nonsurgical locoregional therapy, is frequently chosen as the first treatment modality because it is effective and less invasive, with preservation of the remnant hepatic parenchyma. Tumor implantation along needle tract or on other sites is a rare complication of RFA. We present a patient with HCC who developed a dro...
