Background: Elective surgery for liver hemangioma is controversial. We reviewed long-term outcomes following elective hepatectomy or observation only for symptomatic and asymptomatic liver hemangioma.
Methods: All patients (n = 307) with liver hemangioma referred to our hospital for surgical evaluation from January 1988 to December 2009 were identified, and imaging results, tumor characteristics, surgical indication, surgical mode, outcome of observation, clinical and/or postoperative outcome, and adverse events were retrospectively evaluated.
Background: The aim of the study was to compare the efficacy and tolerability of pegylated interferon (PEG-IFN) plus ribavirin (RIB) and PEG-IFN monotherapy after unsuccessful initial therapy with interferon-α2b (IFN) plus RIB after recurrent post-transplantation hepatitis C.
Methods: Twenty-four patients with either no response (n = 10) or relapse (n = 14) after treatment with IFN plus RIB were prospectively randomized in the two treatment arms: 1) PEG-IFN monotherapy at a dosage of 0.8 μg/kg per week (n = 12) and 2) PEG-IFN (0.
