[A case of recurrent multiple HCC after surgical resection showing regression by two TAEs using 5-FU and zinostatin stimalamer].
A-68-year-old man had hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in the area of S6 segment which was resected surgically. Three months after surgery, multiple recurrent lesions were found in both lobes of the liver. A transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE) with 5-FU and zinostatin stimalamer (SMANCS) was done. After TAE, the tumor mass disappeared in the right lobe and reduced to 10% in the left lobe. Although mass lesions remained unchanged for 3 months, the increased of AFP (143.9 ng/ml) was noticed after 4 months. Ten months after the second TAE with 5-FU and SMANCS, the disappearance of tumor masses was confirmed by diagnostic images.
