Percutaneous ethanol injection for ablation of hepatocellular carcinoma
Percutaneous ethanol injection (PEI) has been most widely performed as one of the effective ablative techniques for small Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The ideal patient for alcohol injection should have fewer than three HCC tumors, each of which is well defined, less than 3cm in diameter, surrounded by a fibrous shell and not near the surface of the liver. It is contraindicated in patients w...
متن کاملPercutaneous ethanol injection in hepatocellular carcinoma.
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...
متن کاملRadiofrequency ablation versus percutaneous ethanol injection for hepatocellular carcinoma: a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials
BACKGROUND Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) and percutaneous ethanol injection (PEI) are treatment methods for patients with early-stage hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) who are not suitable for surgery. Although some reports indicate that RFA is better than PEI, results from previous reviews and analyses are inconsistent. Therefore, this meta-analysis was performed to more thoroughly evaluate the e...
متن کاملPercutaneous Ethanol Lipiodol Injection Therapy versus Radiofrequency Ablation in Treatment of Hepatocellular Carcinoma
HCC cells are characterized by lipiodol deposition (an ethyl Ester of fatty acid of poppy seed containing 37-39% iodine by weight) and emulsification on cell surface, active uptake of lipiodol and prolonged intra-cellular retention for their life span [3]. For percutaneous ethanol lipiodol injection therapy the mixture of 99.5% ethanol and lipiodol at a ratio 10:1 was used with better results t...
متن کاملMeta-analysis of percutaneous radiofrequency ablation versus ethanol injection in hepatocellular carcinoma
BACKGROUND Percutaneous radiofrequency ablation (RFA) has gained popularity in the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, its role versus other conventional minimally invasive therapies is still a matter of debate. The purpose of this work is to analyse the efficacy and safety of RFA versus that of ethanol injection (PEI), the percutaneous standard approach to treat nonsurgical H...
