Alternative treatments including α-interferon 2b and local hepatic therapies for isolated metastases, such as hepatic arterial bland or chemo-embolisation, resection and radiofrequency ablation, have not demonstrated significant impacts on overall survival (OS).
These results are important with current interest in regional hepatic arterial therapy, and may prove of clinical value for prediction or monitoring of response to therapy.
The patient was transferred to our hospital for hepatic tumor therapy.
The data suggests that the TBG promoter is a valuable tool and will greatly facilitate the optimization of vector design in hepatic gene therapy.
Insulin production afforded by hepatic gene therapy (HGT) retains promise as a potential treatment for type 1 diabetes, but successful approaches have been limited.
The use of hepatic infusion therapy was similar in both groups.
Hepatic arterial therapy such as TACE, Yt and bland embolization was previously tried in 10 (9.3%).
Disseminated TB-IRIS was suspected (including hepatic); TB therapy and HAART were continued but prednisolone not given as sensitivity results from mycobacterial culture were still pending.
Hepatic intra-arterial therapy for unresectable hepatocellular cancer (HCC) has been shown to improve overall survival, but can have significant toxicity.
