Patients with intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) have a poor prognosis, and lymph node metastasis is an important prognostic factor. In this study, we investigated the usefulness of fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) as a marker for lymph node metastasis, P-glycoprotein (P-gp) expression, and recurrence in ICC.The subjects were 35 patients who underwent FDG-PET. Detectability...
Although a surgical resection is an important modality for the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), the impact of the operative method on both the patient survival and disease-free survival (DFS) still remains controversial.Using a nationwide Japanese database, 72,744 patients with HCC who underwent a curative liver resection between 1994 and 2001 were divided into two groups based on whether...
For patients with liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) satisfying the Milan criteria (single tumor ≤5 cm or 2 or 3 tumors ≤3 cm), orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) is an effective treatment. Nevertheless, it remains controversial whether OLT is the best treatment strategy for patients with resectable HCC.This study included 293 HCC patients (both with and without cirrhosis) oncologically...
The role of hepatic resection in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and invasion of a main portal or hepatic vein branch is controversial. We evaluated the efficacy of hepatic resection and the factors affecting survival after resection in such patients.The records of 102 patients who underwent resection for HCC with major vascular invasion between 1984 and 1999 were reviewed. Prognostic...
Background. The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinicopathologic characteristics of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and bile duct thrombi (BDT). Patients. Seventeen patients with HCC and BDT among 671 patients with HCC who underwent hepatic resection were enrolled in this study. Results. There were no significant differences in the survival rates between patients with and those...
