肝細胞癌術後の再発形式(ステージ・時間)は相補的に予後を予測する

肝癌術後の早期再発は予後不良因子と考えられ、切除やラジオ波などの根治的治療を控える施設が多くあります。しかし、肝癌再発後の予後は再発形式と時間に相補的に影響され、早期再発でもBCLC stage 0-Aの症例では根治的治療を選択するかどうかで予後が大きく異なることが示されました。

T2胆嚢癌の予後の違いは漿膜下層の脈管密度に影響される可能性がある

T2胆嚢癌は肝側と腹腔側で予後が異なる可能性が報告されていますが(Shindoh J, Ann Surg 2015)そのメカニズムは不明でした。
病理組織学的検討から、肝側と遊離腹腔側の脈管密度の違いが、T2胆嚢癌の進展、予後に影響を与えている可能性が示唆されました。

レンバチニブ投与を行った進行肝癌に対する手術介入は予後を改善する

肝細胞癌領域においては新規薬剤の登場により切除を含めた根治的治療へのコンバージョンの可能性に期待が寄せられています。当院の前向きデータの解析より、経過中のいわゆるコンバージョン手術を含めた治療介入が進行肝癌における予後改善をもたらすことが示されました。
