- Surgical resection is not candidate for advanced stage hepatocellular cacinoma with portal vein thrombosis, but
transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) or radiotherapy can be considered as palliative treatment option.
We experienced a 44-old-male who has stage Ⅳa hepatocellular carcinoma. We performed TACE and 3-dimensional
conformal radiotherapy for hepatocellular carcinoma and portal vein thrombosis. Because follow up image
study showed no viable tumor, we then performed surgical resection. Surgical specimen also showed complete
tumor necrosis.
