Hepatocellular prognosis

The prognosis is determined by the early onset of acute liver failure in the newborn and, in the following months or years, by the development of hepatocellular carcinoma. (163, 167) A liver transplantation is thus recommended as from the second or third year of life. (162) Dietary measures (avoidance of methionine, tyrosine and phenylalanine as nutritional components) have not proved particularly successful. Good therapeutic results were achieved when 2-(2-nitro-4-trifluoromethyl-benzoyl)-l-3-cyclohexanedione) (NTBC) was applied. This substance is an inhibitor of 4-hydroxyphenylpyru-vate dioxygenase, which prevents the accumulation of succinylacetone. (165) Even the risk of HCC development was reduced by this substance. [Pg.594]

In an open trial, percutaneous ethanol injections into the liver improved prognosis compared with conservative treatment in 63 patients with cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma who were not suitable for surgery or transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (16). Most of the patients had mild to moderate local pain during or immediately after injection and 29% developed fever. [Pg.1286]

AFP is also useful for determining prognosis and in the monitoring of therapy for hepatocellular carcinoma. The level of AFP is a prognostic indicator of survival. Elevated AFP levels (greater than lOpg/L) and serum bilirubin levels of greater than 2mg/dL are associated with shorter survival time. [Pg.768]

Primary hepatic tumors, mostly hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), are the fifth most common cause of cancer-related deaths. Their frequency is progressively increasing worldwide and major investigations are under way to improve their dismal prognosis. Similarly, the presence of synchronic or metachronic liver metastases from different tumors (colorectal, pancreas, breast, etc.) significantly decreases the probability of survival. Early detection of liver tumors enables implementation of curative therapies, the selection of which depends upon the volume and extension of the tumor, as well as on the functionality of the remaining liver parenchyma. [Pg.174]
