Abstract
|
|
|
|
Helatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is uncommon in young adults, and young HCC patients is known to show poor prognosis than older HCC patients because they have a more advanced tumor stage at diagnosis. We describe a case of HCC in a 28-year old chronic hepatitis B virus carrier who showed multiple nodular HCC with bone metastasis at diagnosis. In spite of multidisciplinary treatment including transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) for liver mass and radiotherapy for metastatic bone lesion, the patient died of cancer progression and weakened general condition 15 months after diagnosis. Therefore, we need to consider periodic surveillance in young chronic hepatitis B virus carriers.
