title: [A case report of Vp3 hepatocellular carcinoma responding to multidisciplinary treatment].
abstract: We report a 60-year-old man who had hepatocellular carcinoma with tumor thrombus in the main portal vein and left portal branch (VP3HCC). He was treated with transarterial chemo-embolization, surgical resection and intra-arterial infusion chemotherapy. He is now surviving without any sign of recurrence for 12 months after the initial therapy, even though the prognosis of VP3HCC is poor. This is a case in which the effect of multidisciplinary treatment was indicated.
