  • Title: [Hepatocellular carcinoma: interdisciplinary treatment concept].
    Author: Stadler BM, Maier KP.
    Journal: Praxis (Bern 1994); 1998 Oct 28; 87(44):1475-7. PubMed ID: 9847688.
    Abstract:
    In most cases hepatocellular carcinoma develops in a cirrhotic liver. The stage of the cirrhosis and the number and size of the liver tumors are decisive for the prognosis and the individual treatment possibilities. For each therapeutic procedure there are specific contraindications which have to be considered. In a prospective comparative study of different established methods of treatment, i.e. hepatic resection, percutaneous ethanol instillation, transcatheter arterial embolisation and tamoxifen therapy, tumor response, survival time, complications and factors, determining prognosis are analysed. The therapeutic concept of the study can thereby be used as a model for the interdisciplinary treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma.
