liver is the most common metastatic site of colon cancer . More than 50% of metastases are in the liver. The more common ones are lung metastases, local metastases, and bone metastases. If the tumor invades important large blood vessels or invades nearby organs, it is likely to be incompletely removed if only surgical treatment is required.
Sure enough, when the enhanced CT was re-examined in July last year, Mr. Liao’s examination results suggested that hepatic Ca should be considered. Mr. Liao was referred to Guangzhou Hospital for examination, and he was considered to be a hemangioma, about 4.5cm in size. For many years of intestinal cancer, liver metastasis has occurred again. How can Mr. Liao be treated?
Seeking medical treatment, Mr. Liao went to the Department of Oncology, the Third Affiliated Hospital of Guangdong Pharmaceutical University.
Life is endless, and the fight against cancer is not stopped. In order to further treat the tumor, Mr. Liao came to the First Department of Cancer of the Third Hospital of Guangzhou Medicine for consultation. The outpatient "liver secondary malignant tumor" was accepted, and the doctor quickly arranged a consultation for Mr. Liao.
According to Mr. Liao’s previous examination report and PET-CT , the doctor’s initial diagnosis of Mr. Liao’s condition was secondary liver malignancy, cirrhosis, liver cyst, and small intestinal stromal tumor surgery. Later, after pancreatic tail resection, and after splenectomy.
Combined with auxiliary examinations, Mr. Liao’s current condition is clear, and the main focus is liver metastases. After discussion, the Oncology Department of the Third Hospital of Guangzhou Medicine recommended Mr. Liao to perform minimally invasive physical therapy combined with Chinese medicine adjuvant treatment, and adjust the treatment plan according to the changes in the condition.
After the understanding and consent of Mr. Liao and his family members, Professor Liu Yuejun and Dr. Gong Shen from the First Oncology Department of the Third Hospital of Guangzhou Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. performed transvascular embolization for the patient.
During the operation, through angiography , it can be seen that Mr. Liao’s right hepatic artery is significantly thickened, and he can see a large bulbous lesion. In the DSA image, a lot of tumor staining can be seen. The neovascularization of the tumor is clearly visible.
In order to make the curative effect of physical tumor elimination better,Professor Liu Yuejun combined the drug-loaded microspheres with physical anti-tumor surgery, and the two therapeutic effects were superimposed, which solved the shortcomings of drug tumor retention time and other shortcomings, embolizing tumor blood vessels, and achieving better therapeutic effects.
