Percutaneous ethanol injection in hepatocellular carcinoma.
نویسنده
چکیده
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common malignant tumours in Hong Kong. Percutaneous ethanol injection (PEI) is an established technique of imaging guided regional therapy for small HCC. In this treatment, absolute ethanol (alcohol) is injected via a small needle into the tumour in an attempt to kill the tumour cells. The total amount of ethanol injected depends mainly on the tumour size. Usually only a limited amount of ethanol can be injected in one session, this may be due to pain, leakage of ethanol into adjacent veins and to avoid toxicity. Multiple sessions may be needed. The procedure could be performed under local or general anaesthesia. The procedure is performed by radiologists with special training in interventional radiology in the Department of Radiology under image guidance.
