Artículo en Inglés | IMSEAR | ID: sea-45142
ABSTRACT
Rupture of Primary hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is relatively common in high incidence areas including Thailand. There have been attempts to establish a standard treatment to manage this phenomenon. We retrospectively reviewed the records of patients with HCC from January 1989 to June 1997, and ten per cent (32/306) had tumor rupture during the course of the disease. Overall median survival of the patients with tumor rupture was 2.7 months [95% confidence interval (CI), 0-5.9 months] that was not significantly different from that of the patients without rupture (median 6.6 months; 95% CI, 4.0-9.1 months) (P = 0.4605). Among the ruptured group, the patients treated with surgical intervention survived longer than those receiving supportive care alone (median = 15.5 months; 95% CI, 8.7-22.2 months and median = 0.4 months; 95% CI, 0.2-0.5 months, P = 0.0027). The resectional and non-resectional surgical subgroups also had better survival than the supportive group (P = 0.0300 and P = 0.0209, respectively). In conclusion, surgical intervention, if applicable, should be performed in managing ruptured HCC.
