GARCIA PACHECO, Andrea Verónica; DAJARO CASTRO, Leonel Alberto; BERMEO ORTEGA, Juan Carlos e BENALCAZAR DECKER, Gonzalo Nicolás. Transarterial chemoembolization in atypical hepatocellular carcinoma. Rev. virtual Soc. Parag. Med. Int. [online]. 2018, vol.5, n.2, pp.89-94. Epub 01-Set-2018. ISSN 2312-3893. https://doi.org/10.18004/rvspmi/2312-3893/2018.05(02)89-094.
One of the major controversies within the comprehensive medical management of hepatocellular carcinoma is the accurate estimation of the effectiveness of transarterial chemoembolization therapy. Evidence shows that it is part of the treatment nucleus for patients with unresectable tumors and, compared to hepatic resection and radiofrequency ablation, offers long-term survival if the characteristics of nodules up to 3 cm or less without vascular invasion are met. We present a clinical case of atypical hepatocellular carcinoma with integral medical management, through transarterial chemoembolization, evidencing its effectiveness by images and macroscopically until the orthotopic liver transplantation.
