  • Title: [X-ray endovascular embolization of the hepatic artery in the palliative treatment of hepatocellular cancer].
    Author: Granov AM, Tarazov PG, Ryzhkov VK, Saĭkin VKh.
    Journal: Vopr Onkol; 1989; 35(6):703-9. PubMed ID: 2473570.
    Abstract:
    X-ray endovascular embolization of hepatic artery (HAE) was carried out in 10 cases of liver cell carcinoma (hepatic cirrhosis included). Immediate beneficial effect was recorded in 8 cases. Remission for 12 months and more was registered in three cirrhosis-free patients; mean survival in five patients was 15 months. In cases of cancer aggravated with cirrhosis, HAE effectiveness proved much lower and survival dropped to average 5.5 months.
