| Abstract |
|
Brain metastasis is a rare condition of extraheptaic metastases in hepatocellular carcinoma
(HCC). Patients with hepatocellular carcinoma and brain metastasis have rapidly worsened
neurologic signs and symptoms, therefore it is regarded to oncologic emergency. Current
recommended treatments for brain metastasis are surgical resection or gamma-knife surgery
with/without whole brain radiation therapy (RT). However, patients with brain metastasis
have a very poor prognosis after adequate treatment. Here, we report a 62-year-old man with
HCC and brain metastasis who had long term survival after surgical resection and whole brain
RT. (J Liver Cancer 2016;16:38-41) |
