Pedunculated hepatocellular carcinoma and surgical treatment

Giant pedunculated hepatocellular carcinoma with hemangioma mimicking intestinal obstruction Abstract

Background Pedunculated hepatocellular carcinoma (P-HCC) has rarely been reported and is characteristically large and encapsulated. Only sporadic cases have been published, in which P-HCC was combined with other liver tumors (mostly benign), making the diagnosis difficult. Case presentation We report a patient who was admitted to our hospital with clinical features of intestinal obstruction and...

Surgical Treatment Strategies and Prognosis of Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Preclinical studies of 166Ho-chitosan for treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma

Introduction: Recently, due to the special characteristics of 166Ho and chitosan, 166Ho-chitosan complex was developed for treatment of tumors such as hepatocellular carcinoma. This complex has been lately prepared with high radiochemical purity in our lab. The preclinical studies of the complex however should be performed to evaluate the tracer concentration in target and...

Regional Differences in Hepatocellular Carcinoma and its Surgical Treatment

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is probably the commonest malignant tumour in males in the world and is responsible for approximately 1,000,000 deaths annually1’2. In China, most of Southeast Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa it occurs at a rate of 20 to 150 per 100,000 a year, whilst in the USA and Europe the rate ranges from 1 to 5 per 100,000 a year3’4.
