Area of Science:

  • Hepatobiliary Medicine
  • Interventional Oncology

Background:

  • Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a primary liver cancer with significant global impact.
  • Treatment options for HCC include resection, transplantation, ablation, and systemic therapies.
  • Minimally invasive techniques are crucial for managing unresectable or high-risk HCC patients.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the development, principles, indications, and techniques of intratumor ethanol injection (IEI) for HCC.
  • To present the authors' experience with IEI in 125 HCC patients.
  • To evaluate IEI as a therapeutic option for specific HCC patient subgroups.

Main Methods:

  • Historical review of intratumor ethanol injection therapy for HCC.
  • Description of the underlying principles and procedural techniques.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Retrospective analysis of clinical data from 125 treated HCC patients.

    • Main Results:

    • Intratumor ethanol injection therapy has evolved as a treatment modality for HCC.
    • The therapy is particularly suitable for small, limited hepatocellular carcinoma lesions.
    • Patients with poor surgical risk may benefit from this minimally invasive approach.

    Conclusions:

    • Intratumor ethanol injection is a valuable therapeutic option for selected HCC cases.
    • It offers a viable alternative for patients unsuitable for surgical resection.
    • Further research can refine the application of IEI in hepatocellular carcinoma management.
