Regression of tumor thrombus in the suprahepatic vena cava of hepatocellular carcinoma and conversion hepatectomy induced by lenvatinib

Abstract Recent developments in systemic chemotherapy for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma have been outstanding. However, reports on conversion surgery after lenvatinib therapy are scarce. We present the first case of advanced hepatocellular carcinoma with tumor thrombus in the suprahepatic vena...
