- Liver cancer is the 2nd most common cause of cancer related death in Korea. Especially,
patients who present extrahepatic spread of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) have a shorter life
expectancy (50% survival at 1 year and less than 4 months of median overall survival). Molecular
target agent like sorafenib was usually mentioned as a treatment for them, but that was still not
firmly established. We present a 75 year-old who had expanding nodular type of HCC. The mass
was removed by resection and radiofrequency ablation. However, lung metastasis were revealed
shortly after surgery. That lesions were treated with lenvatinib and systemic chemotherapy.
