    Abstract:
    We report a long-term survival case of recurrent hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). A 40-year-old woman suffering advanced HCC underwent right hepatic tri-segmentectomy. After the surgery, HCC recurred in the remnant liver and lung. An arterial infusion of Lipiodol emulsion of anti-cancer agents and regional hyperthermia therapy were repeatedly performed. Administration of FT and PSK were also started. After this combined therapy, AFP levels decreased and recurrent lesions in the liver as well as pulmonary metastases disappeared on image studies. The patient is doing well 4 and half years later with no evidence of recurrence.
