摘要
Percutaneous ethanol injection (PEI) under ultrasound guidance is a new therapeutic possibility for patients with small hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). In our series, 35 patients with a total of 50 tumors were treated (tumor size 0.8-5.0 cm). No significant complications occurred after 502 sessions of ethanol injection. Thirty patients presented complete remission, as no evidence of residual HCC was revealed during the follow-up (mean 16 months). Five patients with lesions larger than 3.5 cm presented only partial remission. The survival curves at 1, 2, and 3 years (Kaplan Meier method) were 100%, 100%, and 80%, respectively. In comparison with the survival curves of untreated and surgically treated patients. PEI seems to be the better treatment for operable HCC smaller than 3 cm, and for lesions smaller than 5 cm in patients with high surgical risk. © 1990 Springer-Verlag New York Inc.
