Abstract PDF: With the advances in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) treatment, the lung metastasis of HCC is becoming increasingly important. In treating the lung metastasis of HCC, a multidisciplinary approach can lead to better results than systemic chemotherapy alone. Here, we report on a patient who presented with pulmonary masses, while the HCC was being controlled in the abdominal cavity. The presence of nontuberculous mycobacteria was identified during the diagnosis of the pulmonary masses. The pulmonary metastases of HCC were treated with a combination of angiotherapy, radiation therapy, and radiofrequency ablation. The patient showed a satisfactory progress with this multidisciplinary localized treatment. We report the clinical progress and review the recent literature regarding the treatment of pulmonary metastasis without intrahepatic HCC herein.

Abstract PDF: Advanced hepatocellular carcinoma has a poor prognosis, especially in the cases with portal vein or IVC tumor thrombi. In such cases, surgical resection could not be a curative treatment option and transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) alone is usually ineffective. Recently, three-dimensional conformal radiation therapy (3D-CRT) has been developed to better conform the radiation dose to the tumor volume in order to reach the goal of eradicating local disease without injuring normal tissue. Combination therapy with TACE and 3D-CRT could be considered as a treatment option for advanced HCC with PV or IVC tumor thrombi. We report here two cases with advanced HCC showing response to combination therapy with repeated TACE and 3D-CRT.
