Article Synopsis
- This study explores the Double-vein Embolization technique used to enhance liver remnant size before major liver surgeries, with a focus on initial experiences at Semmelweis University, Hungary.
- Over a period of 16 procedures, results showed a 100% technical success rate with minimal complications, and significant increases in future liver remnant volume and function, indicating the technique's effectiveness.
- While outcomes align with existing literature, the authors emphasize the need for more research to determine how to best incorporate Double-vein Embolization into standard clinical practice.
Article Synopsis
- Advances in prostate cancer diagnostics over the past decade have improved visualization through MR imaging, leading to more accurate targeted biopsies using mpMRI-ultrasound fusion technology.
- A study conducted from 2017 to 2019 at Semmelweis University analyzed 40 mpMRI-ultrasound fusion biopsies, examining factors like PI-RADS scores and tumor location for their influence on diagnosis outcomes.
- The results showed an 80% overall cancer detection rate, with the highest success in PI-RADS 5 lesions and those in the peripheral zone, while larger prostate volumes tended to correlate with negative biopsy results.
Introduction: Depending on their size and location, some benign tumors can cause prolonged discomfort and even rupture and fatal bleeding in severe cases. Hitherto the therapeutic strategies for such lesions were observation, surgery and in selected cases transarterial embolization.
Aim: Our aim was to present the possibilities of thermoablation for treating lesions.
