Abstract PDF: Whether the prognosis of hepatocellular carcinoma in young patients is different from elderly patients is still controversial. Previous reports revealed that most of the young hepatocellular carcinoma patients have hepatitis B viral infection, larger tumor and more advanced stage than elderly patients, and these features not just young age are related with poor survival. We experienced a case of stage IVA hepatocellular carcinoma suspected to be related with autoimmune hepatitis in a 28-year-old man. Even though 3 times of transarterial chemoembolization and best supportive care were given, he died 7 months after diagnosis.

A Case of Hepatocellular Carcinoma with Portal Vein Thrombi Successfully Treated with TACE Following Radiation Therapy: Won Sub Choi, Sang Hoon Park, Kyung Rim Huh, Kyung Hun Lee, Tae Ho Hahn, Choong Kee Park, Min Jeong Kim, Eui-Yong Jeon, Su Ssan Kim; Journal of the Korean Liver Cancer Study Group. 2008;8(1):106-110.

Abstract PDF: Transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) is one of treatment modalities which can give survival benefit to patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) to which curative therapies can be applied. But, TACE can encounter the risk of liver failure in case of HCC with main portal vein tumor thrombi. Advances in techniques to account for respiration motion and understanding of partial liver tolerance to radiation therapy have permitted us to deliver high dose radiation therapy without toxicity in treatment of HCC. We report a case of HCC with massive portal vein thrombosis which responded to TACE following radiation therapy.

Mandiblar and Mesenteric Metastases of Hepatocellular Carcinoma - Report Two Cases -: Joon Ho Moon, Sang Hoon Park, Taeho Hahn, Cheol Hee Park, Kyoung Oh Kim, Kyo-Sang Yoo, Jong Hyeok Kim, Choong Kee Park; Journal of the Korean Liver Cancer Study Group. 2006;6(1):83-88.

Abstract PDF: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common malignancies in Korea. Extrahepatic metastases from hepatocellular carcinoma are not rare and now diagnosed more frequently due to improved diagnostic
methods
and prolonged survival. HCC commonly metastasizes to lung, lymph node, bone and adrenal gland, but rarely to central nervous system, gastrointestinal tract, oral cavity, and so on. Diagnosis of extrahepatic metastases is difficult because of atypical presentation. We report two cases of hepatocellular carcinoma, which metastasized to mandible and mesentery, respectively.
