Abstract
|
|
|
primary Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is well recognized as one of the most malignant tumors with a dismal prognosis. Although surgical resection is effective in small solitary HCC, only 10% of tumors are resectable. As a result, most HCC
patients
receive palliative therapy. Many efforts have been made in the treatment of the advanced HCC; systemic chemotherapy, transcatheter arterial chemo-embolization(TACE), percutaneous ethanol injection therapy (PEIT). The prognosis of HCC with main
portal
vein tumor thrombus is very poor due to limitation of treatment modality and poor results of treatment. Radiation therapy is known to be effective in the treatment of unresectable HCC and even in the case of portal vein tumor thrombus. Now we
report
three cases of advanced HCC with portal vein tumor thrombus or inferior vena cava thrombus that was treated with combined radiotherapy and hyperthermia after TACE.
