Seminal vesicle metastasis after partial hepatectomy for hepatocellular carcinoma

Brain metastasis from hepatocellular carcinoma after radical hepatectomy.

Brain metastasis from hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a rare, yet perplexing problem in patients with cancer. We report on 5 patients with metastasis of HCC to the brain after radical hepatectomy. Intrahepatic recurrence occurred in 3 patients, and distant metastasis to sites other than the brain was observed in 3 patients (lung, 2; bone, 1). The symptoms for brain metastasis included headach...

Risk factors for early mortality after hepatectomy for hepatocellular carcinoma

Despite advances in surgical technique and medical care, liver resection for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains a high-risk major operation. The present study evaluated the risk factors for early mortality after hepatectomy.We retrospectively reviewed records of patients undergoing liver resection for HCC between 1983 and 2015. A point score (Risk Assessment for early Mortality (RAM) score)...

Preoperative plasma transcript AA454543 level is an independent prognostic factor for hepatocellular carcinoma after partial hepatectomy.

BACKGROUND We have previously reported that tissue expression levels of transcript AA454543 in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) are significantly higher than those of normal livers, livers with cirrhosis, and livers with hepatitis. In addition, a higher level of transcript AA454543 in tumor tissues is associated with poor prognosis. We aim to examine whether quantitative measurement of preoperati...

Strategies to Decrease Morbidity After Hepatectomy for Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Extrahepatic bile duct hepatocellular carcinoma due to recurrence of hematogenous metastasis 50 months after hepatectomy

BACKGROUND Recurrent hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in the extrahepatic bile duct is rare with most cases diagnosed after manifesting sudden obstructive jaundice. Here, we report an extremely rare case of recurrent HCC in the common bile duct due to hematogenous metastasis. CASE PRESENTATION A 66-year-old man underwent an extended left hepatectomy for HCC in the medial segment of the liver. F...
