Purpose: The present work focused on assessing whether hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy (HAIC) combined with lenvatinib and tislelizumab was safe and effective on advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) showing high tumor burden.
Methods: In the present multicenter retrospective study, treatment-naive advanced HCC patients (BCLC stage C) showing high tumor burden (maximum diameter of intrahepatic lesion beyond 7 cm) treated with lenvatinib and tislelizumab with or without HAIC were reviewed for eligibility from June 2020 to June 2023. Baseline differences between groups were mitigated by propensity score matching (PSM).

Background: The presence of hepatic steatosis (HS) is a crucial histological parameter for evaluating the suitability of liver transplantation. However, to date, no studies have used contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS) to diagnose and grade HS in brain-dead donors. This study aimed to detect and quantify hepatic microcirculatory perfusion in brain-dead donors using CEUS and to assess the utility of CEUS in the diagnosis and grading of HS.

Background: The scanning trigger threshold affects image quality. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of different scanning trigger thresholds on brain computed tomography angiography (CTA) image quality.
Methods: In this prospective study, 80 patients undergoing brain CTA examinations with dual-layer CT (DLCT) were randomly divided into group A and group B, with 40 patients in each group.

Background: We developed a prognostic model to evaluate the overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) of patients with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (u-HCC) treated with Hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy of infusion oxaliplatin, fluorouracil and leucovorin (FOLFOX-HAIC).
Methods: This model was based on a retrospective study of u-HCC patients treated with the FOLFOX-HAIC (oxaliplatin 130 mg/m, leucovorin 400 mg/m, fluorouracil bolus 400 mg/m on day 1, and fluorouracil infusion 2,400 mg/m for 23-46 h, once every 3-4 weeks). We divided the patients into a training cohort and a validation cohort, used LASSO regression construct prognostic models, predict patient's OS and PFS based on nomograms of models.

Objective: To develop and validate a computed tomography (CT)-based deep learning radiomics model to predict treatment response and progression-free survival (PFS) in patients with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (uHCC) treated with transarterial chemoembolization (TACE)-hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy (HAIC) combined with PD-1 inhibitors and tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs).
Methods: This retrospective study included 172 patients with uHCC who underwent combination therapy of TACE-HAIC with TKIs and PD-1 inhibitors. Among them, 122 were from the Interventional Department of the Harbin Medical University Cancer Hospital, with 92 randomly assigned to the training cohort and 30 cases randomly assigned to the testing cohort.
