A Case of Emergent Treatment for Hemodynamic Unstable Patient with Ruptured Hepatocellular Carcinoma: Jae Keun Kim, Joon Seong Park, Ja Kyung Kim, Hyo Jun Lee, Kwang Hoon Lee, Kwan Sik Lee, Dong Sup Yoon; Journal of the Korean Liver Cancer Study Group. 2012;12(2):160-163.

Abstract PDF: A ruptured Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of life threatening complication and considered as poor prognosis. Hemodynamic stability is a key to the early period survival. Hemostasis can be achieved with transarterial embolization and explo‐laparotomy or surgical resection. Prognosis is related to hemodynamic stability and liver function and tumor size. Surgical resection of ruptured HCC is recommended when it is possible. Further studies are needed for the treatment of recurred and progressive patients with ruptured HCC.

A Review of Prognostic Factors Influencing the Longterm Survival of Patients with Hepatocellular Carcinoma: Young Min Park; Journal of the Korean Liver Cancer Study Group. 2001;1(1):1-11. Published online June 30, 2001

Abstract PDF: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a leading cause of cancer death in Korea, a highest endemic area of hepatitis B virus infection throughout the world. Because of the delayed diagnosis and decompensated cirrhosis, the current situation for the longterm survival of HCC patients is not optimistic, but still pessimistic. However, recently, HCC screening became a popular health program especially for a high risk group, so that the detection rate of small-size HCC is increasing, and also the various available therapeutic methods such as hepatic resection, percutaneous ethanol injection therapy (PEIT), and radiofrequency therapy (RFT) are all effective for the early stage of localized HCC. In epidemiological viewpoint, HCC shows a heterogeneous pattern in natural course and in survival. These heterogeneity is correlated with various factors, including age at the diagnosis, sex, tumor stage at the diagnosis, the presence of cirrhosis and hepatic failure, a kind of treatment protocol, and various biological features, including tumor growth pattern, differentiation grade, proliferating activity, tumor cell type, vascular invasion, alpha-fetoprotein, etc. To help the assessment of clinical situation and the prediction of clinical course of individual patients with HCC, this review will introduce various prognostic factors in relation to the survival of HCC patients.
