- A case study highlights that advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with macrovascular invasion has a poor prognosis, but hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy (HAIC) can be an effective treatment.
- A 75-year-old man with multiple HCC and tumor thrombosis initially responded to HAIC, but treatment was paused due to side effects and resumed later.
- After a right hepatectomy revealed no viable tumor cells, the patient remained cancer-free for over 10 years, demonstrating the potential of HAIC in managing advanced HCC.
We conducted a multicenter prospective study to clarify the efficacy and safety of surgery and imatinib for liver oligometastasis of gastrointestinal stromal tumors. Eligible gastrointestinal stromal tumor patients were enrolled in the surgery trial or the imatinib trial. Primary endpoints were recurrence-free survival and progression-free survival, respectively.
