Local ablative treatments for hepatocellular carcinoma: An updated review
Ablative treatments currently represent the first-line option for the treatment of early stage unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Furthermore, they are effective as bridging/downstaging therapies before orthotopic liver transplantation. Contraindications based on size, number, and location of nodules are quite variable in literature and strictly dependent on local expertise. Among abl...
متن کاملContrast enhanced ultrasound in assessing therapeutic response in ablative treatments of hepatocellular carcinoma.
Percutaneous ablative methods guided by imaging techniques are considered nowadays curative treatment for early HCC in patients who are not candidates for liver transplantation and surgical resection. The final goal of all ablative treatments is to achieve complete destruction of neoplastic tissue by disruption of tumor vascularity. The best way to demonstrate the efficacy of any ablative metho...
متن کاملResults of surgical and percutaneous ablative therapy for hepatocellular carcinoma in elderly patients
Results A cohort of 45 Child-Pugh class A or B patients was collected. Of these, twenty-seven underwent surgery (male/female, 22/5; mean age 70). For 18 cases transcatheter arterial embolization (TACE), radiofrequency ablation (RFA), and portal vein embolization (PVE) (male/female, 15/3; mean age 74) were indicated (see Figure 1). Twenty patients with hepatitis C infection, 7 with hepatitis B i...
متن کاملA prospective randomized trial comparing percutaneous local ablative therapy and partial hepatectomy for small hepatocellular carcinoma.
OBJECTIVE To compare the results of percutaneous local ablative therapy (PLAT) with surgical resection in the treatment of solitary and small hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA PLAT is effective in small HCC. Whether it is as effective as surgical resection in the long-term survivals remains unknown. METHODS We conducted a prospective randomized trial on 180 patients wi...
متن کاملPercutaneous cryoablation for hepatocellular carcinoma
Local ablation therapy is considered as a conventional treatment option for patients with early stage hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Although radiofrequency (RF) ablation is widely used for HCC, the use of cryoablation has been increasing as newer and safer cryoablation systems have developed. The thermodynamic mechanism of freezing and thawing used in cryoablation is the Joule-Thomson effect....
