The volume of the liver and its functional status in primary and metastatic malignant lesions

: 84 patients with primary and metastatic malignant liver lesions predominantly at stage T4N0M0 were studied liver volumes and volumes of foci of lesions, also personal normal liver formula. Obtained data was compared with the functional state of the liver, as determined by the scale of hepatotoxicity NIH-NIAD with additional index points of higher levels of ALT, SCHF and total bilirubin in serum. We found that liver increase in most cases is not only a total foci destruction and predominantly blood disorders and lymphokinesis bodies. Even with 50% dissemination of the malignant growth of functional compensation body remains at a sufficient level, which enables extensive cytoreductional intervention and chemotherapy.
