متن کاملTransportal Radioembolization as Salvage Hepatocellular Carcinoma Therapy to Maintain Liver Transplant Candidacy.
A 53-year-old woman with chronic hepatitis B and multifocal hepatocellular carcinoma was unable to receive transarterial radioembolization and had disease progression despite multiple chemoembolizations and systemic chemotherapy. Transportal radioembolization (TPRE) to maintain transplant candidacy was performed. Two lesions (1.7 cm, 1.4 cm) were treated with a single session of TPRE. Imaging p...

In this study, we investigate...
