3.Early Diagnosis of Hepatocellular Carcinoma Using lmaging Modalities.
Yonsei Medical Journal 1988;29(2):101-108
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most frequent primary malignancies in the world, and, particularly, it is common in the Far East. In the world, more than one million new cases of HCC are seen each year. The prognosis of patients with HCC is extremely poor with an average survival of about six months following the diagnosis. In order to improve the prognosis of HCC, early diagnosis should be attempted utilizing mass screening methods. Screening of a high-risk population with alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) along with non-invasive medical imaging modalities will lead to early diagnosis of HCC and subsequent improvement of survival. Indeed, recent advances in medical imaging techniques have increased the rate of detection of small HCCs, and such imaging modalities include ultrasonography(US), radionuclide imaging(RNI), computed tomography(CT), magnetic resonance imaging(MRI), and angiography. Each imaging method is reviewed with special emphasis on the early diagnosis of HCC.

Bone is a common site of metastasis in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). We report a rare case of rib metastasis from HCC treated by transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE). A 55-year-old man with liver cirrhosis presented with right lower chest pain. The diagnosis was an HCC with a bone metastasis in the right eighth rib. Intra-arterial injections of doxorubicin mixed with Lipiodol and Gelfoam particles were instituted through the right eighth intercostal artery. Computed tomography and a Tc99-labeled scan performed 2 months after the third TACE revealed no viable HCC in the right eighth rib.
