[A case of HCC with a tumor thrombus in the main portal vein surviving (Vp4) for over three years and six months].
On June 22, 1984, a 69-year-old man was admitted to hospital because of high fever and weight loss. On admission, laboratory data revealed the following: ICG R15 17%, and an AFP of 14 X 10(4) ng/ml. Celiac angiogram revealed a hypervascular tumor, a prominent A-P shunt, and an obstruction of the main portal trunk. After three sessions of one shot chemotherapy using ADM, MMC, and CDDP during the first admission, the AFP serum level decreased to 17,400 ng/ml, and tumor size regressed. Subsequently, the patient has received eighteen sessions of one-shot chemotherapy every two to four months and is still alive as of December 1987.
