  • Title: Spontaneous regression of hepatocellular carcinoma.
    Author: Chien RN, Chen TJ, Liaw YF.
    Journal: Am J Gastroenterol; 1992 Jul; 87(7):903-5. PubMed ID: 1319672.
    Abstract:
    We report a 65-yr-old man with hepatitis B virus-related liver cirrhosis and biopsy-proven hepatocellular carcinoma who has undergone spontaneous regression. The tumor became impalpable, and was no longer detectable by ultrasonography and computed axial tomography, 5 and 30 months later. The alpha-fetoprotein level also decreased to normal range. The clinical course is silent, and the patient is alive and well 37 months after the initial diagnosis.
