Is scheduled second chemoembolization necessary for early stage hepatocellular carcinoma showing complete response after first chemoembolization?
The reported complete response rate after single session of chemoembolization for small hepatocellular carcinomas ranged from 75% to 80% on mRECIST evaluation of imaging studies. However, considerable proportion of tumor nodules with complete initial response after chemoembolization show local tumor progression during long-term follow-up. The cumulative 5-year local tumor progression rate of ch...
متن کاملPredictive Factors for Complete Response and Recurrence after Transarterial Chemoembolization in Hepatocellular Carcinoma
Background/Aims To investigate the predictive factors for complete response (CR) and recurrence after CR in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) treated with transarterial chemoembolization (TACE). Methods Among 691 newly diagnosed HCC patients, 287 were treated with TACE as a first therapy. We analyzed the predictive factors for CR, recurrence after CR, and overall survival (OS). R...
متن کاملChemoembolization of hepatocellular carcinoma.
Transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) is the current standard of care for patients with intermediate-stage hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and relatively preserved liver function. In a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials comparing conventional TACE regimens-including the administration of an anticancer-in-oil emulsion followed by embolic agents-versus best supportive care, TACE was sh...
متن کاملTransarterial chemoembolization for hepatocellular carcinoma
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is common cancer in the world. Hepatitis B/C or alcoholic cirrhosis is usually underlying condition. Surgical resection is curative treatment for small HCC, however most patients usually present when advanced or inoperable disease. Transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) is most common alternative treatment for early and advanced HCC. Curative treatment is possible...
متن کاملPulmonary lipiodol embolism after transcatheter arterial chemoembolization for hepatocellular carcinoma
Transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) has become an effective alternative treatment strategy for patients with inoperable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Although TACE is relatively safe, pulmonary lipiodol embolism is a rare and potentially fatal complication which is often not anticipated by physicians. About 14 patients with pulmonary lipiodol embolism progressing to respiratory di...
