Rapid Intra-Hepatic Dissemination of Hepatocellular Carcinoma with Pulmonary Metastases Following Combined Loco-Regional Therapy
نویسنده
چکیده
This manuscript describes an unusual case of rapid intra-hepatic dissemination of hepatocellular carcinoma with pulmonary metastases occurring 1 month after combined chemoembolization and radiofrequency ablation. Inferior vena cava and portal vein invasion tumor thrombus was also detected, possibly accounting for the mechanism of disease dissemination route of disease.

متن کاملThe spatial organization of intra-tumour heterogeneity and evolutionary trajectories of metastases in hepatocellular carcinoma
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has one of the poorest survival rates among cancers. Using multi-regional sampling of nine resected HCC with different aetiologies, here we construct phylogenetic relationships of these sectors, showing diverse levels of genetic sharing, spanning early to late diversification. Unlike the variegated pattern found in colorectal cancers, a large proportion of HCC dis...

متن کاملRisk of HBV reactivation according to viral status and treatment intensity in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma.
BACKGROUND There are no convincing data supporting the routine use of pre-emptive therapy against HBV reactivation in various loco-regional therapies for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). This study investigated the incidence, severity and risk factors of HBV reactivation during loco-regional therapies. METHODS A total of 205 prospectively enrolled patients were classified in order of increasin...
