Abstract
- From January 1996 to August 1997, 24 patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) equal to or more than 2 cm (mean +/- SD; 4.1 +/- 3.0 cm) in main tumor diameter were treated by SMANCS-TAE (20 cases) or SMANCS-TAI (4 cases) combined with PEI. Six cases had solitary lesion, 16 cases had multiple lesions, and 2 cases had massive lesions. After this combination therapy, 21 of 24 cases had complete tumor necrosis. During 3 to 19 months follow up period, 12 cases had cancer-free survival (SMANCS-TAI; 3 cases), and 9 cases had tumor recurrences (3 cases were local recurrences and 6 cases involved new lesions). Two cases died of hepatic infarction and cancer death, however, the remaining 22 cases were surviving. SMANCS-TAE combined with PEI is useful treatment for advanced large or multiple HCC lesions in patients who are poor surgical risks.
