Transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) offers a survival benefit to patients with intermediate hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). A widely accepted TACE regimen includes administration of doxorubicin-oil emulsion followed by gelatine sponge—conventional TACE. Recently, drug-eluting bead (DC Bead®) has been developed enhance tumor drug delivery and reduce systemic availability. This randomized trial compares conventional (cTACE) DC Bead for the treatment cirrhotic HCC. Two hundred...
Image-guided tumor ablation has become a well-established hallmark of local cancer therapy. The breadth options available in this growing field increases the need for standardization terminology and reporting criteria to facilitate effective communication ideas appropriate comparison among treatments that use different technologies, such as chemical (eg, ethanol or acetic acid) ablation, thermal therapies radiofrequency, laser, microwave, focused ultrasound, cryoablation) newer ablative...
PURPOSE: To compare the effectiveness of radio-frequency (RF) thermal ablation with that percutaneous ethanol injection (PEI) for treatment small hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in patients cirrhosis. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A series 102 hepatic cirrhosis and either single HCC 5 cm diameter or smaller as many three HCCs each 3 (overall number lesions, 142) randomly received RF (n = 52) PEI 50) sole first-line anticancer treatment. Mean follow-up was 22.9 months ± 9.4 (SD) group 22.4 8.6 group....
PURPOSE: To perform a prospective, intention-to-treat clinical trial to determine the long-term survival rates of patients with hepatic cirrhosis and early-stage hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in whom percutaneous image-guided radiofrequency (RF) ablation was used as sole first-line anticancer treatment. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The study performed approval ethics committee, written informed consent obtained for all patients. From June 1, 1996, January 2003, 206 (143 men, 63 women; age range,...

To evaluate the usefulness of percutaneous radio-frequency (RF) thermal ablation nonresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) after occlusion tumor arterial supply.Sixty-two patients with cirrhosis and biopsy-proved HCC underwent RF interruption supply by means either hepatic artery a balloon catheter (40 patients) or feeding arteries gelatin sponge particles (22 patients).After single procedure in 56 two procedures six patients, spiral computed tomography (CT) demonstrated nonenhancing area...
Ultrasound contrast agents (UCA), in conjunction with specific imaging techniques, are increasingly accepted clinical use for diagnostic and post-interventional workup several organs. Presently, there is no guidance document providing a description of essential technical requirements, proposed investigator qualifications, suggested investigational procedures steps, on image interpretation, recommended established indications safety considerations.
