Hepatocellular Carcinoma : Therapeutic options 全身化療 Systemic chemotherapy 經肝動脈血管栓塞化療 Trans-arterial oily chemo-embolization (TOCE) 射頻消融療法 Radio-frequency ablation (RFA) 肝臟切除 Liver resection / Hepatectomy 肝臟移植 Liver transplantation
Hepatocellular Carcinoma : Trans-arterial Oily Chemo-embolization (TOCE) Common femoral artery puncture at groin and selective cannulation of tumor-feeding branch of Hepatic artery (Trans-Arterial) Hypervascular lesion with no AV shunting (patent PV) Emulsion of Lipiodol (Oily contrast) -10mL + Cisplatin (Chemotherapeutic agent) By manual mixing between 2 x 20 ml syringes through 3-way Manual injection of emulsion until no further injection possible Embolization with Gelfoam Keep pressure-dressing & limited mobility x 12 hours Conservative treatment for fever, vomiting Long-term gallbladder problem
Hepatocellular Carcinoma : TOCE : Indications & Contraindications Indications : Inoperable or Recurrent HCC, especially > 2 foci Temporizing measure before surgery Medical problems Emergency - Ruptured HCC with bleeding Contraindications : Poor liver function Total bilirubin > 50 µmmol/l Gross AV shunting Blocked PV branch NEVER for Operable HCC before surgery

Radio-frequency ablation for Liver tumors: Summary of Experiences Patient selection : Limited volume for ablation : Tumor < 4cm Previous bilio-enteric anastomosis Peri-operative management : Close cardiac monitoring (arrythmia) Adequate hydration hemoglobinuria (proximity to major blood vessels) Technical details : Position of needle tip Deep margin - 0.5 cm from tip Lateral margin 1.5 cm Duration of ablation 6 8 min (Suggest :12 min ) Prior needle placement for multiple ablation Bile duct cooling Open vs Percutaneous Higher morbidity Better complete ablation

Hepatocellular carcinoma: Expectations for Hepatectomy in 2011 Overall risk :3-5% Intraoeprative blood loss:1000ml under Normal hemoglobin : No peri-operative transfusion (90%) Normal cardio-pulmonary status,no ICU Resumption of oral feeding at 24 hr after surgery Discharge at Day 5 depending on cirrhosis Laparoscopic hepatectomy for selected site & size
Laparoscopic Hepatectomy : Current Status Small lesions at different Laparoscopic segments with acceptable degree of cirrhosis - candidates Standard techniques in Open surgery should be used for laparoscopic liver resection Variations such as gasless surgery; Hand-assisted devices are useful depending on individual center Superior peri-operative and comparable long-term outcomes with Open surgery were observed with malignant tumors Right hepatectomy remains a technical challenge
