    Abstract:
    We report a case of advanced multiple hepatocellular carcinomas (HCC), successfully treated by combination therapies of transarterial chemoembolization (TAE), operation and radiofrequency ablation therapy (RFA). A 59 year-old man was detected with an increased serum alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) level and an ultrasonography (US) revealed three nodules of HCC at the right lobe in August 1998. He was successfully treated with a combination therapy of TAE and percutaneous ethanol injection therapy (PEIT) at the beginning. However, HCC had recurred quite often. TAE had been repeated for twelve times before right trisegmentectomy was performed in November 2002. Thirteen months after the operation, CT revealed a new lesion at subsegment 3, which was treated by RFA. Furthermore, a metastatic single lesion had appeared at the left lung, which was resected. He has still been well for 82 months since the first detection of HCC.
