A Study on the Angioarchitecture of Hepatocellular Carcinoma
Study Overview
Detailed Description
Embolization is performed within 2 weeks before the scheduled date of partial hepatectomy. The purpose of the timing is two folded, it allows observation of the embolization effect to be differentiated among the various embolic agents, it also allows time for the patient and the liver to recover from the embolization.
The patient then receives partial hepatectomy within 2 weeks unless the result of liver function tests shows contraindication to surgery, in which case the liver function test is further evaluated on a weekly basis until the findings are acceptable, and surgery is scheduled accordingly.

Arms and Interventions
Participant Group / Arm |
Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Other: Tumor <=3cm
Embolization with particulate or liquid embolic agent
|
Patient with a diagnosis of HCC and a treatment plan to receive partial hepatectomy will receive transarterial embolization under local anesthesia 2 weeks before the surgery.
Angiographic examinations of the tumor before and after embolization of the tumor will be performed.
Histological examination of the tumor in the surgical specimens will be performed.
|
Other: Tumor >3cm to 7cm
Embolization with particulate or liquid embolic agent
|
Patient with a diagnosis of HCC and a treatment plan to receive partial hepatectomy will receive transarterial embolization under local anesthesia 2 weeks before the surgery.
Angiographic examinations of the tumor before and after embolization of the tumor will be performed.
Histological examination of the tumor in the surgical specimens will be performed.

What is the study measuring?
Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
arterial flow through the tumor
Time Frame: within one hour
|
Digital subtraction angiography (DSA) is performed before and after embolization, through catheterization of the arterial branches supplying the tumor, images from arterial phase to delayed phase are captured.
Contrast distribution at the arterial tumor branches, arterioles, tumor sinusoids, peri-tumoral liver, and peri-tumoral portal venules are observed.
|
within one hour
|
Secondary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
The degree of tumor necrosis
Time Frame: within 2 weeks after embolization
|
The percentage of viable residual HCC is assessed quantitatively in increments of 5 %, with the measurement of the largest axial diameter of viable HCC compared to that of the whole tumor using a microscopic ruler.
|
within 2 weeks after embolization
