Locoregional Therapies for Hepatocellular Carcinoma with Portal Vein Tumor Thrombosis

Hepatocellular carcinoma is the fourth leading cause of cancer worldwide, and the fastest increasing cause of cancer mortality in the United States. Its propensity for vascular invasion leads to the presence of portal vein tumor thrombus in up to half of patients. PVTT results in a classification of...

description Hepatocellular carcinoma is the fourth leading cause of cancer worldwide, and the fastest increasing cause of cancer mortality in the United States. Its propensity for vascular invasion leads to the presence of portal vein tumor thrombus in up to half of patients. PVTT results in a classification of advanced disease, given the risk recurrence secondary to intravascular spread, and formal guidelines recommend systemic therapy in these patients. However, recent advances in locoregional therapies including TACE, TARE, and ablation have demonstrated the potential to drastically improve overall survival in patients with HCC complicated by PVTT.
