[X-ray endovascular embolization of the hepatic artery in the palliative treatment of hepatocellular cancer]
Abstract
X-ray endovascular embolization of hepatic artery (HAE) was carried out in 10 cases of liver cell carcinoma (hepatic cirrhosis included). Immediate beneficial effect was recorded in 8 cases. Remission for 12 months and more was registered in three cirrhosis-free patients; mean survival in five patients was 15 months. In cases of cancer aggravated with cirrhosis, HAE effectiveness proved much lower and survival dropped to average 5.5 months.
