Abstract
A 73-year-old man complaining of general fatigue and abdominal fullness was hospitalized in April 1994. Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) measuring 25 x 11 cm was detected in the right liver lobe. The patient received transcatheter artery embolization, and AFP and PIVKA-II levels were decreased thereafter. However, after three months, AFP levels were increased gradually. Therefore, 300 mg of UFT was administered daily. AFP and PIVKA-II levels decreased and the tumor decreased in size. The patient remained in a good state of health for about two years and six months. Our case suggests that UFT is effective for the treatment of HCC.
