Abstract:
Between 1985 and 1990, 47 patients with primary hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) underwent surgery (n = 27), chemoembolization (n = 12) or palliative resection followed by chemoembolization (n = 5). In 85% of the patients a T3/T4 tumor stage was found, 68% had liver cirrhosis and 42% were older than 70. Mortality was 18.7% after liver resection and 0% after chemoembolization or combined treatment. Average survival was 4.4 months after chemoembolization, 11.6 months after resection and 11.6 months after palliative resection of the HCC followed by chemoembolization with angiostat/adriblastin.
