Purpose: Hepatic and/or portal vein embolization are performed before hepatectomy for patients with insufficient future liver remnant and usually achieved a trans-hepatic approach. The aim of the present study is to describe modified trans-venous venous deprivation technique (mLVD), avoiding potential risks limitations percutaneous approach hepatic embolization, assess safety, efficacy, surgica...

Recently, high-resolution multislice CT images have been used in the diagnosis of hepatic cancer. In the conventional method of detecting hepatic cancer on the basis of three-dimensional images, it is difficult to detect cancers with a three-dimensional structure. This paper proposes a method of detection of liver cancer on the basis of three-dimensional hepatic blood vessel regions which are e...

Mutation in several factors and pathways leads to the development of hepatic cancer i.e. Wnt-β-Catenin Signalling Pathway , activation Insulin-Like Growth Factor (IGF) Pathway, The P13/PTEN/AKT, TP53 Tumour Suppressor Gene. Liver cirrhosis fatty liver predispose normal tissues fibrosis leading cancer. Excessive alcohol intake results inflammation proceeding ultimately carcinoma. Hepatocellular ...

PURPOSE To assess the feasibility of intraluminal palliative Pulsed Dose Rate (PDR-BT) brachytherapy in the treatment of locally advanced bile duct and pancreas cancer. MATERIAL AND METHODS Forty-eight patients with advanced bile duct or pancreas cancer, disqualified from surgery or radical external beam radiation therapy (EBRT), were treated with trans-hepatic technique and intraluminal PDR-...

We have evaluated the degree to which hepatic arterial infusion of Adriamycin produces higher hepatic and lower systemic drug concentrations than are achieved with corre sponding peripheral venous infusion. Hepatic arterial catheters were placed in seven patients with primary or metastatic liver cancer. Temporary hepatic venous catheter placement allowed direct sampling of drug levels in the he...

PURPOSE Surgical resection of isolated hepatic or pulmonary metastases of colorectal cancer is an established procedure, with a 5-year survival rate of about 50%. However, the role of surgical resections in patients with both hepatic and pulmonary metastases is not well established. We aimed to analyze overall survival of these patients and associated factors. METHODS Data retrospectively col...

Colorectal cancer is the third leading cause of cancer-related mortality in the world--the main cause of death from colorectal cancer is hepatic metastases, which can be treated with isolated hepatic perfusion (IHP). Searching for the most clinically relevant approaches for treating colorectal metastatic disease by isolated hepatic perfusion (IHP), we developed the application of oxaliplatin co...
