Abstract PDF: 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.

A Case of Early Recurrence of Hepatocellular Carcinoma after Curative Hepatic Resection: Sang-Hyung Cho, Jae-Hee Cheon, Hong-Suk Park, Seong-Hoon Kim, Sang-Jae Park, Woo-Jin Lee, Eun-Kyung Hong, Joong-Won Park, Chang-Min Kim; Journal of the Korean Liver Cancer Study Group. 2004;4(1):55-58.

Abstract PDF: A 52-year-old male was referred to our hospital for further evaluation and treatment of known hepatocelluar carcinoma. He did not have risk factors for hepatocellular carcinoma, such as hepatitis virus infection, alcohol abuse and occupational history. We performed CT scan that showed a single nodule with a diameter of 4 cm in the segment Ⅴ. MR imaging showed the same nodule in the segment Ⅴ without any additional nodule in the liver. We performed segmentectomy for the segment Ⅴ, Ⅵ, and Ⅶ. Five months later, follow-up CT scan showed disseminated hypervascular nodules involving the remaining liver. Hepatic angiography also showed multiple hypervascular nodules in the remaining liver, indicating early recurrence by intrahepatic metastasis. We then performed transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE). At present, this patient underwent TACE for ten times, but was still found to have new intrahepatic metastases, tumor invasion to the portal vein and lymph node metastasis in the peripancreatic area.

A Case of High Grade Dysplastic Nodule, Diagnosed as Hepatocelluar Carcinoma before Operation: Sang-Hyung Cho, Joong-Won Park, Hyun-Bae Son, Seong-Hoon Kim, Hyun-Jung Jang, Hong-Suk Park, Woo-Jin Lee, Sang-Jae Park, Eun-Kyung Hong, Chang-Min Kim; Journal of the Korean Liver Cancer Study Group. 2003;3(1):57-60.

Abstract PDF: A 58-years-old male was referred to our hospital for further evaluation and treatment due to hepatic mass which was found on US. He was a heavy drinker and there was no evidence of abnormal finding in liver function test including HBs Ag and Anti-HCV Ab negative. Liver CT revealed an enhancing hepatic mass on arterial phase. we had confirmed hepatocellular carcinoma by sono-guided liver biopsy, and so performed left lobectomy. After operation, We diagnosed the resected liver specimen not hepatocellular carcinoma but high grade dysplastic nodule by several immunohistochemical staining. There was no evidence of recurrence during 5-month follow-up.

A Case of Atypical Imaging Finding for Hepatocellular Carcinoma: Sang-Hyung Cho, Seong-Hoon Kim, Hyun-Jung Jang, Hong-Suk Park, Woo-Jin Lee, Sang-Jae Park, Joong-Won Park, Eun-Kyung Hong, Chang-Min Kim; Journal of the Korean Liver Cancer Study Group. 2003;3(1):77-79. Published online July 31, 2003

Abstract PDF: A　62-year-old male was referred to our hospital for further evaluation and treatment due to hepatocellular carcinoma. He was performed to TACE once. Threre was no evidence of abnormal finding except HBs Ag positive. We performed four times of TACE. Another hepatic mass was found on Liver CT which was observed in delyed phase not in arterial phase, portal phase. We diagnosed hepatocellular carcinoma by sono-guided Liver biopsy and radiofrequency ablation was performed because of no response to further TACE. There wad no evidence of recurring during 3-month follow-up.
