Abstract:
Seen from the development of the treatment for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC),although great progress has been made on the optimization of the treatment,the patients' overall survival (OS) has not been greatly improved compared with other tumors of digestive system such as colorectal cancer.That is mainly because of the early microvascular invasion (MIV) and portal vein tumor thrombus (PVTT) which are among the most important reasons for poor prognosis in HCC.Thus we overviewed the recent research findings on the treatment of HCC with PVTT,which might help the clinicians select the optimal therapeutic strategy.
