The interventional treatment for hepatocellular carcinoma originating from the caudate lobe / 临床肝胆病杂志

ABSTRACT

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC)originating from the caudate lobe is a special-site HCC,which is rare and difficult to treat. The major therapeutic method in the past was surgical resection.In recent years,interventional treatment for HCC originating from the cau-date lobe has achieved significant progress,and good therapeutic effect has been obtained.This paper briefly introduces the anatomic fea-tures of the caudate lobe and the features of blood supply in HCC originating from the caudate lobe,reviews the research advances in the therapeutic methods of transcatheter arterial chemoembolization and local ablation for HCC originating from the caudate lobe,and points out that a combination of interventional therapies for HCC originating from the caudate lobe needs to be further investigated in clinical practice.
