Spontaneous rupture of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a potentially lethal complication. Despite various treatment modalities with curative intent, there are scant data on ruptured cases achieving complete pathological response (pCR), only handful case reports. We report Chinese male patient large advanced HCC (aHCC) first detected in an emergency setting, developing pCR after multidisciplinary onco-surgical approach.

Do pathogen effectors play peek-a-boo?
Epigenetics is a burgeoning field of research and many organisms are found to regulate genes in a transient (“above genetics”) way due to (temporarily) decorating DNA or proteins that associate with DNA. This can change transcription of affected genes and since such DNA modifications are reversible, the expression potential over time and generations can therefore be extremely variable. This all...

متن کاملProlonged Complete Response after GEMOX Chemotherapy in a Patient with Advanced Fibrolamellar Hepatocellular Carcinoma
The only currently validated treatment for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is sorafenib. However, sorafenib has been mainly studied in patients with HCC developed in cirrhotic liver. Chemotherapy might be more suitable for patients with HCC in non-cirrhotic liver. We report the case of a young woman with fibrolamellar HCC in a non-cirrhotic liver, with histologically proven metastatic g...
متن کاملComplete response of advanced hepatocellular carcinoma to sorafenib: another case and a comprehensive review
Since sorafenib was introduced in 2007 for treating advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), 15 patients have achieved a complete response (CR) in advanced HCC. However, only four of these reports can be regarded as real CRs involving adequate assessments including imaging, serum tumor markers, and histologic examinations of completely resected specimens. A 54-year-old man with hepatitis C viru...
