Hepatic haemodynamic changes and locoregional treatment of HCC

Hepatocellular carcinoma is the most common primary liver cancer and has a world wide distribution Interventional therapies of HCC have an increasingly important role in the treatment of liver malignancies.In our study we could conclude that:- Liver hemodynamics in HCC whether treated or not are different from those in liver cirrhosis alone.- There is no significant hemodynamic changes occur in the liver following radio-frequency alcohol injection TACE and combined TACE-RFA.- RFA as a treatment for HCC is superior to alcohol injection and transarterial catheter chemoembolization.- Combined modalities in the treatment of HCC are better that single treatment alone.
