A resected case of hepatocellular carcinoma effectively treated by hepatic artery embolization and systemic chemotherapy
1989
A 64-year-old male complaining of abdominal fullness was admitted to hospital for close examination. Hepatocellular carcinoma was diagnosed by various imaging techniques and the patient was treated by 3 transarterial embolizations and 2 courses of systemic chemotherapy with CDDP. The tumor was reduced and the effect was judged to be a partial response to these therapies. By resection, a residual mass had histologically no live cancer cells. This case was considered to have had a complete response with multidisciplinary treatment.
