Abstract

AbstractNowadays, the novel molecular targeting chemotherapy provides possibility of safe hepatectomy for progressive hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Further, combination of the conventional transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) may add an effect of tumor shrink. We present a successful radical hepatectomy for a large HCC located in segment 1 accompanied with the preoperative Lenvatinib (LEN)-TACE sequential treatment. We present a woman patient without any complaints who had a 7 cm-in-size of solitary HCC compressing vena cava and right portal pedicle. To achieve radical hepatectomy by tumor shrinking, LEN-TACE for 2 months. After confirming downsizing or devascularization of the HCC, we scheduled radical posterior sectionectomy combined with caudate lobectomy according to tumor location and expected future remnant liver volume from three-dimensional computed tomography simulation before surgery. Under the thoraco-abdominal incision laparotomy, we safely achieved scheduled radical hepatectomy without any vascular injuries. The postoperative course was uneventful and no tumor recurrence were observed for 1 year. Histological findings showed the Japan TNM stage III HCC with 70% necrosis. The multi-modal strategy of LEN-TACE followed by radical hepatectomy by confirming downsizing or devascularization in tumor is supposed to be useful and would be a preoperative chemotherapy option, and promising for curative treatment in HCC patients with progressive or large HCC, which may lead to safety by prevention surrounding major vascular injury.
