Abstract
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with tumor thrombus in inferior vena cava (IVC) is difficult to treat. Therefore, there are no specific treatment modalities for such case. Here, we present a patient diagnosed as hepatocellular carcinoma with tumor thrombus in inferior vena cava (stage IVa). The patient was treated with concurrent chemo-radiation therapy (CCRT) for 5 weeks. After that, tumor size was markedly decreased, and 9th courses of additional intra-arterial chemotherapy were performed. Follow-up positron emission tomography- computed tomography (PET-CT) showed shrinked hepatocellular carcinoma and right lobe, disappearance of IVC tumor thrombus, decreased size of right hepatic vein thrombus and a faint uptake at gallbladder. Residual malignancy could not be excluded. So, right hepatic lobectomy with a curative aim was performed and its result was successful.
